| This six-page laminated reference guide provides an easy-to-follow 11-step procedure for seismic design in accordance with the 2003 IBC, 2000 NEHRP Provisions (FEMA 368) and ASCE 7-02, with emphasis on the seismic design of a typical one-to-three story building. Illustrations are provided for many of the difficult to understand requirements. Subjects addressed include determination of mapped spectral response accelerations; consideration of exceptions to the seismic code requirements; Seismic Design Category determination; consideration of plan and vertical structural irregularities; determination of seismic base shear, redundancy coefficient and seismic load effects; and compliance with drift control requirements. This CodeMaster also provides a roadmap for understanding how the 2003 IBC seismic provisions are designed to apply to the Simplified Analysis Procedure and how the 2003 IBC seismic provisions, in tandem with ASCE 7-02 seismic provisions, are designed to apply to the Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure.
The 2000 and 2006 editions are also available. |
