Abstract
This revision of the ASCE Standard Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures is a replacement of ASCE 7-98. This Standard provides requirements for dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. Substantial changes were made to the wind, snow, earthquake, and ice provisions. In addition, substantial new material was added regarding the determination of flood loads. The structural loading requirements provided by this Standard are intended for use by architects, structural engineers, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes.
