ASCE-7-05

ASCE-7-05

ASCE-7-05

(OP)
Please correct me if I am wrong:

IBC 06 & 09 both reference ASCE-07-05.
 

RE: ASCE-7-05

06 IBC definitely, and I think 09 does too.

IBC 2012 will reference ASCE 7-10

RE: ASCE-7-05

(OP)
thanks jtx. I am using IBC 09 for the first time (was using 06, 03 etc previously) and noted that similar to 06 it refers to ASCE 7-05, so wanted to confirm that.

Looks like all other codes ACI318, 530 have been upgraded to 2008 in IBC 09, only ASCE-7 reference remains unchanged.

RE: ASCE-7-05

correct, IBC 06 & 09 both reference 7-05.

ASCE 7 committee has decided to go on a 5 year cycle versus the typical '3 year cycle'.

Note that ASCE 7-10 has significant revisions (wind load provisions)

RE: ASCE-7-05

Joe...No prob!!
 

RE: ASCE-7-05

I've gone through ASCE 7-10 and the wind load provisions, while rearranged dramatically into multiple seperate chapters, hasn't changed that much.  Method 2 MWFRS wind is pretty much the same thing as 05.

 

RE: ASCE-7-05

OK - having posted that I must also add that a significant change that they did was eliminate the importance factor, I, and also change the wind speeds to derive an ultimate wind (vs. a service wind) by having multiple wind maps for different risk categories.

This means that instead of 1.6W in the LRFD combos, you will have 1.0W.

So I guess that seems like a big change but in your general familiarity with Method 2 it looks pretty much the same.

 

RE: ASCE-7-05

JoeBaseplate...if you have a copy of the code (IBC 2006, 2009 etc.), there is a chapter on "Referenced Standards".  Currently it is Chapter 35.  Look in there.  It will tell you which version of the particular standard is being referenced.

RE: ASCE-7-05

The methods have minor changes (one being 6 FREAKING CHAPTERS), but if you break down the wind speeds, the 1.0*Wind in ASCE 7-10 should be the same force as 1.6*Wind in ASCE 7-05 for the same risk/occupancy category.  The idea for doing this is to make the wind force analogous with the seismic force (load factor equalling 1.0).
