Structural Engineering

Describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load combinations, and load factors affecting buildings and other structures that are under construction. It addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction.

The most up-to-date and coordinated loading standard for general structural design.

Discusses the key parameters that underpin the provisions and illustrate the application of those provisions in both routine and nonroutine situations.

Provides clear, authoritative explanations of the seismic design provisions.

Provides the state-of-the-art and best-practice for short-span, single and multi-lane bridge loading, dynamic allowance and long-span bridges.

Offers guidance to structural engineers in the design of civil structures to resist the effects of terrorist bombings.

Best practices for the field of performance-based structural fire engineering design.

Explains the key concepts in the provisions, including tsunami risk categories; inundation depth and flow velocities; structural design procedures; and hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and debris impact loads.

A comprehensive overview of the wind load provisions.
