Abstract
In December 2021, the American Society of Civil Engineers published an updated edition of ASCE 7, “Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures,” (ASCE 7-22). Because ASCE 7-22 will be referenced in the International Building Code,® 2024 Edition, as the basis for design wind uplift load determination for all roof assembly types except asphalt shingles and tile, you should be aware of the changes.
