Calculations I'm reviewing require seismic loads to be calculated using AWWA D100 (for elevated water tanks). The contractor has provided seismic loads using ASCE 7.
Does anyone know if ASCE 7 is more conservative than AWWA D100? I'm a little curious about how the 2 standards compare even though I'm probably going to have to specify the loads be re-done anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
