ASCE 7
ASCE 7
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking for design load infos out of interest in structural engineering. ASCE 7 keeps being mentioned anywhere I look. I don't want to spend the 100+ $$ to buy the actual spec. but would like to find out what is in the spec. Is there an older version (less expensive) available or may be a paper bound summary book (Cliff Notes)?
Thanks for any advise

RE: ASCE 7
Unfortunately, you will have to spend the money if you want to used the document. It's a cost of doing business.
You might also find that your code will allow the use of its own provisions rather than going to ASCE 7. Keep in mind, though, that the primary code provisions might be limited...for instance, the primary code might only be applicable to buildings under 60 feet in height.
