Prepared by the Task Committee on Urban Aerodynamics of the Environmental Wind Engineering Committee of the Technical Council on Wind Engineering of ASCE.

Urban Aerodynamics: Wind Engineering for Urban Planners and Designers introduces the basic tools and technology used by engineers to determine the effects of wind on city streets and structures. Familiarity with the fundamentals of urban aerodynamics offers many advantages to city planners and urban designers, most especially the opportunity to incorporate quantitative techniques into the design and development process....

Prepared by the Earthquake-Actuated Automatic Gas Shutoff Systems Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

This standard provides current minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shutoff devices. These devices contain both a means of sensing seismic activity and a way of shutting off the flow of gas. Applicable to systems carrying natural gas and propane, the devices are used in piping, equipment, and the appliances typically found in structures of three stories or less.

Prepared by the Urban Drainage Standards Committee of the Standards Development Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE.

This single-volume set of three Standards establishes guidelines for design, installation, and operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems. ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 12-13 provides guidelines for the design of these systems and covers site analysis, system configuration, drain envelopes, hydraulics and hydrology, structural considerations, and materials. ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 13-13 focuses on installation and examines site...

Prepared by the Design Loads on Structures during Construction Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Design loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading and for the variability of temporary loads. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. Design Loads on Structures during Construction, ASCE/SEI 37-14, describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load...

Copublished with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA)

Standard for Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for Engineered Wood Construction provides design provisions based on reliability theory for engineered wood structures. This Standard, prepared jointly by ASCE and AF&PA, reflects the current state of knowledge and offers uniform practice in the design of engineered wood structures. Specifically, the Standard covers: design requirements; tension members; compression members and bearing; flexural members; members with combined bending and axial loads;...

Public Safety Guidance for Urban Stormwater Facilities provides guidance for reducing risks from safety hazards at facilities managing urban stormwater. People like to be around water and may not recognize the possible dangers of retention ponds, open channels, closed culverts, or other features associated with stormwater drainage, water quality control, or low-impact development. Although it is impractical, if not impossible, to achieve zero risk at a stormwater management facility, steps can be taken to promote public safety.

This guidance, developed under the auspices of...

Standard Practice for Direct Design of Precast Concrete Box Sections for Jacking in Trenchless Construction provides the latest in design and recommended installation procedures for precast concrete box sections for jacking in trenchless construction. This Standard addresses piping intended to convey sewage, industrial wastes, storm water and drainage, as well as for utilities and access ways. The Direct Design method accounts for the interaction between the box section and soil or grout envelope in determining loads and distribution of earth pressure on buried box sections, in...

Prepared by the Structural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings Standard Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Structural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings, Standard ASCE/SEI 19-16, provides requirements for the structural design, fabrication, and installation of cables for use as static structural elements to support and brace buildings and other cable-supported structures. Covering both carbon-steel and stainless-steel cables, this standard addresses roofs, floors, curtain walls, masts, and...

Prepared by the Wind Tunnel Testing for Buildings and Other Structures Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.
Wind Tunnel Studies for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 49-12, provides the minimum requirements for conducting and interpreting wind tunnel tests to determine wind loads on buildings and other structures. Wind tunnel tests are used to predict the wind loads and responses of a structure, structural components, and cladding to a variety of wind conditions. This Standard...

Prepared by the Committee on Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, and wind loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a...

Prepared by the Flood Resistant Design and Construction Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Flood Resistant Design and Construction, ASCE/SEI 24-14, provides minimum requirements for design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas and subject to building code requirements. Identification of flood prone structures is based on flood hazard maps, studies, and other public information. This standard applies to new structures, including subsequent work, and to work classified as substantial...

Standard Practice for Direct Design of Precast Concrete Pipe for Jacking in Trenchless Construction covers design and recommended installation procedures for precast concrete pipe for jacking in trenchless construction. This Standard addresses piping intended for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, and drainage, as well as for utilities and access ways. The design criteria include: structural aspects, such a s circumferential flexure, thrust, shear and radial tension strengths; crack width control; longitudinal thrust produced by jacking; and requirements for...
