Hi folks - You may have seen this already and spats, it seems that you already knew it was in the works, but I just got a copy of ASCE 37-14 and the reduction to be applied to the wind per ASCE 7-95 has indeed been updated to a reduction that applies to ASCE 7-10. Thought y'all might like to know if you didn't. Have a good weekend.





RE: NOLAENG WillisV spats - if you're interested

Since our area/industry is not quick to update codes, I haven't purchased the new version yet.
Can you elaborate on the reduction factors?
Are the end design wind speed results the same as the old version or has new construction duration data been incorporated?

RE: NOLAENG WillisV spats - if you're interested

What I said in the previous thread was correct and still stands. No review of additional data was performed. The reductions are the same, you just apply them to the higher strength level wind speeds.

It's also interesting that section 2.4 punts to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specification for bridges. Does anyone know what level of detail the BCS provides for loads during construction? We don't happen to have a copy around the office.
