CodeMaster - Seismic Design (2024 IBC and ASCE 7-22)

Significant changes have taken place in the seismic design provisions of ASCE 7-22 over the 2016 edition of the standard. These new provisions are adopted by the 2024 IBC. This 6-page laminated reference guide makes the requirements easy to understand through a 15-step process. Illustrations are provided for many of the difficult to understand requirements. Subjects addressed include determination of mapped spectral response accelerations; consideration of exceptions to the seismic code requirements; Seismic Design Category determination; consideration of plan and vertical structural irregularities; determination of seismic base shear, redundancy coefficient and seismic load effects; and compliance with drift control requirements. Major changes in the design provisions are also highlighted.
