This standard applies to new structures, including subsequent work, and to work classified as substantial improvement of existing structures that are not historic. Identification of flood prone structures is based on flood hazard maps, studies, and other public information. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find this Standard an essential reference in their practice.Įrrata and Supplement 2 can be downloaded in PDF format from the ASCE Library.Prepared by the Flood Resistant Design and Construction Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCEįlood Resistant Design and Construction, ASCE/SEI 24-14, provides minimum requirements for design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas and subject to building code requirements.

Many other provisions, including calculations for wind and snow loads, are also adopted by reference by both IBC and NFPA model building codes. The earthquake load provisions in ASCE 7-05 are substantially adopted by reference in the 2006 International Building Code and the 2006 NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. 1 are seamlessly integrated into this volume and are not available anywhere else.ĪSCE/SEI 7-05 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. The updates which comprise Supplement No. 1, which is included with the Standard, ensures full and complete coordination between ASCE/SEI 7-05 and the 2006 International Building Code. This Standard, a complete revision of ASCE/SEI 7-02, 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. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures provides requirements for general structural design and the means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents.
