ASCE / SEI 31-03 - Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings
Seismic Evaluation of
Existing Buildings (ASCE 31-03), provides a
three-tiered process for seismic evaluation of
existing buildings in any level of seismicity.
Buildings are evaluated to either the Life Safety or
Immediate Occupancy Performance Level. This standard
is intended to serve as a nationally applicable tool
for design professionals, code officials, and
building owners looking to seismically evaluate
existing buildings. A major portion is dedicated to
instructing the evaluating design professional on
how to determine if a building is adequately
designed and constructed to resist seismic forces.
The design of mitigation measures is not addressed
in this standard. ASCE 31-03 is intended to replace
FEMA 310, Handbook for Seismic Evaluation of
Buildings -- A Prestandard (FEMA, 1998).
ASCE / SEI 37-02 Design Loads on Structures During
Construction
Provides Minimum Design Load
Requirements During Construction
This Standard provides minimum design load requirements during
construction for buildings and other structures. It addresses
partially completed structures and temporary structures used during
construction. The loads specified are suitable for use either with
strength design (such as USD and LRFD) or with allowable stress
design (ASD) criteria. The loads are equally applicable to all
conventional construction methods. Topics include loads and load
combinations, dead and live loads, construction loads, lateral earth
pressures, environmental loads, and performance and safety criteria.
The basis of loads are probabilistic analysis, observation of
construction practices, and expert opinions. Maximum, as well as
arbitrary point-in-time values of loads are given.
ASCE / SEI 41-06 -
Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings
Latest generation of
performance-based seismic rehabilitation
methodology. This new national consensus standard
was developed from the FEMA 356, Prestandard and
Commentary for the Seismic Rehabilitation of
Buildings, which served as a starting point for the
formal standard development process. ASCE/SEI
Standard 41-06 represents state-of-the-art knowledge
in earthquake engineering and is a valuable tool for
the structural engineering profession to improve
building performance in future earthquakes. It
includes significant improvements in current
understanding of building behavior in earthquakes,
such as: Improved C-coefficients for calculation of
the pseudo-lateral force and target displacement
based on recommendations in FEMA 440.
ASCE / SEI 7-05: Minimum Design Loads for Building and
Other Structures Provides
Requirements for General Structural Design and Load
Determination
The ASCE Standard 7-05, Minimum
Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures,
provides requirements for general structural design
and includes means for determining dead, live, soil,
flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and
earthquake loads, and their combinations that are
suitable for inclusion in building codes and other
documents. This Standard is a revision of ASCE/SEI
7-02. This Standard includes revised and
significantly reorganized provisions for seismic
design of structures, as well as revisions in the
provisions for determining live, flood, wind, snow,
and atmospheric ice loads. Also included is
Supplement No.1, which is a detailed commentary
containing explanatory and supplementary information
to assist users of this Standard. Structural
engineers, architects, and those engaged in
preparing and administering local building codes
will find the structural load requirements essential
to their practice. (soft bound, 424 pages)
