ASCE 7

ASCE continues to work across multiple fronts to better incorporate climate data into its future codes and standards.

The concrete-filled, composite steel-plate shear wall system saves months.

ASCE standards all look impressive on any civil engineer’s bookshelf, but ultimately, they function best when they are put into practice.

ASCE/SEI 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures is ASCE's most widely used professional standard.

The newly updated ASCE/SEI 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criterial for Building and Other Structures is now available. This national standard is the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) most widely used standard and is an integral part of building codes in the United States and around the globe

Reston, VA — The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is offering a free trial of ASCE 7 Online. ASCE 7 Online provides digital access to ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-10. This trial period of ASCE’s most prominent standards comes prior to the release of the newly updated Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criterial for Building and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-22 next month. The free trial is available through November 30th and will expire December 1.

A public comment period is now open for the 2022 edition of ASCE/SEI 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures.

An integral part of building codes in the United States, ASCE 7 is vital in the daily practice of civil engineers, building officials, and architects. ASCE 7 Online provides a faster, easier way for engineers to work with ASCE 7.

To assist practicing engineers, ASCE has developed supporting guides that provide detailed descriptions of the wind, seismic, tsunami, snow, and rain load provisions in ASCE 7-16.

A new ASCE Manual of Practice brings much-needed consistency to criteria for tall buildings specific to wind effects.
