Description: This publication is an essential resource to comprehend the basic considerations for the design of concrete buildings for earthquake and wind forces. It covers the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2006 IBC/ASCE 7-05. 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.
This publication is a practical reference for structural engineers who want to learn quickly how to apply the 2006 IBC/ASCE 7-05 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 the publication helpful in understanding the application of code requirements and will refer to it frequently when plan-checking concrete structures.
The six chapters cover:
1. Introduction to earthquake-resistant design and summaries of the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2006 IBC/ASCE 7-05.
2. The design of an office building with a dual system and a moment-resisting frame system in the two orthogonal directions.
3. The design of a residential building utilizing shear wall-frame interactive and building frame systems.
4. The design of a school building utilizing moment-resisting frames.
5. The design of a residential building with a bearing wall system.
6. The design of a precast parking structure.
