As is well known by now, changes in a new edition of the IBC result primarily from changes in the referenced standards adopted by the IBC. The primary reference standards that have changed from the 2021 to the 2024 IBC are: ASCE 7-22 replacing ASCE 7-16 (including Supplement 1); TMS 402/602-2022, in place of TMS 402/602-2016; AISC 360-22 and 341-22 instead of AISC 360-16 and 341-16; and NDS-2024 in place of NDS- 2018. The concrete standard remains unchanged at ACI 318-19.
In this four- part seminar, we discuss changes in IBC Chapter 1, Scope and Administration; Chapter 2, Definitions; Chapter 16, Structural Design (changes that are not the result of the switch from ASCE 7-16 to ASCE 7-22); Chapter 17, Special Inspections and Tests; Chapter 18,Soils and Foundations; Chapter 19, Concrete; Chapter 21, Masonry (changes resulting from the switch to TMS 402/602-22); Chapter 22, Steel ( changes resulting from the switch to AISC 360-22 and AISC 341-22); and Section 3103, Temporary Structures (these changes are extensive and highly significant). A segment of the seminar is devoted to a concise summary of the major changes from ASCE 716 to ASCE 7-22. Also, a segment is devoted to the major changes from NDS- 2018 to NDS- 2024.
Speaker Bio
Dr. S. K. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ASCE, SEI, ACI, and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He is a former member of the Boards of Direction of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in recent earthquakes.
