Abstract
Changing economic conditions, concerns for historic preservation, emphasis on fully utilizing conveniently located structures, space shortages, and increasing cost of materials and products used in the construction of new buildings have resulted in the need to evaluate and more fully utilize the existing building inventory. To this end, the standard 11-90 was developed to provide the design community with buildings constructed of combinations of material including concrete, masonry, metals and wood. This edition ASCE 11-99 replaces ASCE 11-90. It consists of an overview of preliminary and detailed assessment procedures, of materials properties and test methodsm, and of evaluation procedures for various physical conditions of the structure. The standard is not intended to be ncluseive or prescriptive but is expected to serve as a resource document for engineers, owners, and regulatory officials.
