Seismic loads : time-saving methods using the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16.

This publication provides structural engineers, educators, students, and other design professionals a concise, visual guide to the determination of structural loads due to seismic loads. The intent is to present the provisions in the 2018 International Building Code and ASCE/SEI 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures in a manner that is easy to understand and apply. This is achieved by utilizing step-by-step methods including numerous figures, tables, flowcharts, and design aids.
Examples in both inch-pound and metric (S.I.) units illustrate the proper application of the code provisions and follow the step-by-step methods outlined throughout the publication. Section, figure, table, and equation numbers from the code and this publication are given in the right-hand margin of the examples for easy reference.
In short, seismic loads can be determined simpler and faster using the procedures
in this publication.
