61st Annual Structural Engineering Conference Does not provide for design using standard fire resistance design with prescriptive methods, nor does it address explosions.Constitutes an alternative methodology to meet project design requirements, as is permitted by Section 1.3.6 and the alternate “means and methods” of construction provision in the building codes.Provides procedures for performance-based design and evaluation of structures for fire conditions that result in fire-induced effects on a structure’s members and connections.Appendix E is not a mandatory part of the standard.A new non-mandatory appendix (Appendix E) has been added on: Performance-Based Design Procedures for Fire Effects on Structures.61st Annual Structural Engineering ConferenceĬhanges to Chapter 2 (Load Combinations) Performance-based procedures must also demonstrate that they provide a reliability not less than these target reliabilities.Later in the presentation, you will see how the reliability impacts wind loads for Risk Category IV structures.The ASCE 7 committee is looking at these reliabilities in the context of many of our existing environmental loads.The current load combinations and companion resistances used in our prescriptive design procedures are intended to provide reliabilities similar to those shown in the target reliability table.Reliability Basis for use in Performance-Based Design moved from Commentary to Provisions.The scope and commentary are also revised to reflect this change in title.– Appendix C contains serviceability requirements. – The Earthquake chapters contains requirements on analysis, structural configuration directives, and prohibits some structural systems and detailing methods.

– The Atmospheric Ice section contains a specific design procedure for the consideration of ice loads. ASCE 7 has for quite some time contained more than just design loads.– The rain chapter places requirements on the drainage and consideration of ponding instability. – The flood chapter makes an explicit declaration that the effects of scour and erosion be considered. – Chapter 1 contains a Risk Category Table, Strength and Stiffness requirements, performance-based design requirements, serviceability requirements, and General Structural Integrity provisions. ASCE 7-16 will be known as: Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures.We have changed the title of the document!.While using ASCE 7, please keep in mind the old adage “A camel is a horse designed by committee.”Ħ1st Annual Structural Engineering Conference
