| This publication provides comprehensive coverage on the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2003 International Building Code and discusses the response of concrete buildings to earthquake and wind forces.
Application of the seismic and wind provisions is illustrated by designing and detailing typical structural members in buildings that are located in areas of low, moderate and high seismic risk on different types of soil.
The six chapters cover:
- Introduction to earthquake-resistant design and summaries of the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2003 International Building Code.
- The design of an office building with dual and moment-resisting frame systems.
- The design of a residential building utilizing shear wall-frame interactive and building frame systems.
- The design of a school building with moment resisting frames.
- The design of a residential building with bearing wall system.
- The design of a precast parking structure.
This volume is a practical reference for structural engineers who want to learn quickly how to apply the 2003 International Building Code seismic and wind provisions to the design and detailing of reinforced concrete buildings. Educators and university students will find this publication to be a valuable resource because of the many worked-out design examples. Plan reviewers will find this publication helpful in understanding the application of code requirements and will refer to it frequently when plan-checking concrete structures.
From the Preface
This second edition updates this publication to the 2003 edition of the International Building Code (IBC). Chapter 1 has been updated to reflect the changes from the 2000 to the 2003 edition.
The changes from the 2000 to 2003 edition of the International Building Code are incremental in nature, as compared with the revolutionary changes that took place from the prior model codes, now called the legacy codes, to the first (2000) edition of the IBC. However, many of the changes are substantive. And, the magnitude of the changes is such that it is not possible to leave any one of the examples untouched from the last edition of this publication.
One change that must be singled out is the extensive use of ASCE 7-02 in the seismic provisions. The 2003 IBC, in fact, allows seismic design to be carried out in accordance with Sections 9.1 through 9.6, 9.13 and 9.14 of ASCE 7-02, rather than by Sections 1613 through 1623 of the code. Even if this option is not followed, much of the text of the seismic provisions of the code has been dropped in favor of reference to ASCE 7-02. Dual references have therefore been made to the 2003 IBC and ASCE 7-02 section numbers throughout the text. This makes for slightly cumbersome reading at times. However, we believe that this significantly enhances the value of the publication.
We have taken care to include detailed results of structural analysis within the examples in this edition of the publication. |
