INCLUDES SOLUTIONS MANUAL! a: Structural Loads: 2012 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-10 Presents load requirements in a straightforward manner with emphasis placed on proper application in everyday practice. The structural load provisions are organized in comprehensive flowcharts, guiding the reader through the requirements. Author David A. Fanella, Ph.D., S.E., P.E., F.ASCE, provides a valuable training resource for engineers, architects, plan reviewers, building officials, and students who need to understand how to determine structural loads including dead load, occupancy live load, roof live load and environmental loads such as rain, snow, ice, flood, wind and seismic loads. This edition includes a new chapter on load path, a new section on atmospheric ice loads, completely updated discussion of the new wind design procedures in ASCE/SEI 7-10, and problems at the end of each chapter. A complete Solutions Manual is included as an online bonus. (550 pages) Soft Cover................................................

The book references the 2012 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-10, and references material standards from the 2012 IBC by section number. It is also applicable to the later versions of these standards and the 2015 IBC. Four detailed design examples include an overview of applicable irregularities, a discussion of appropriate analysis and design requirements, determination of key lateral force-resisting system demands, and design of select example elements contained in the building’s load path.

Identified by a specific time period, a fire-resistance rating is assigned to a tested component or assembly based on its ability to perform under fire conditions. A fire-resistance-rated component or assembly is intended to restrict the spread of fire from a specified area or provide the necessary protection for the continued performance of a structural member. This performance is based on fire resistance, defined as the property of materials or assemblies that prevents or retards the passage of excessive heat, hot gases, or flames. FIRE-RESISTANT JOINT SYSTEM. Where a linear opening is placed in or between adjacent fire-resistance-rated assemblies to allow independent movement of the assemblies, it is considered by the IBC as a joint. One or more joints may be provided to address movement caused by thermal, seismic, wind, or any other similar loading method. Designed to protect a potential breach in the integrity of a fire-resistance-rated horizontal or vertical assembly, a fireresistant joint system is a tested assembly of specific materials designed to restrict the passage of fire through joints. The fire-resistance ratings required for the joint systems, as well as other requirements, are addressed in Section 715. FIRE SEPARATION DISTANCE. The fire separation distance describes that distance between the exterior surface of a building and one of three locations—the nearest interior lot line; the centerline of a street, alley, or other public way; or an imaginary line placed between two buildings on the same lot. The method of measurement is based on the distance as measured perpendicular to the face of the building. See Figure 202-10. The fire separation distance is important in the determination of exterior wall and opening protection based on a building’s location on the lot. See the discussion in Table 602 for a further analysis of this subject. Figure 202-10 Fire separation distance. 90° 90° 90° 90° 90° 90° of street, alley or public way CL CL 02_IBC Handbook_c02_p019-048.indd 31 13/04/15 12:21 PM Where the building is stepped or terraced, it is logical that the height is the maximum height of any segment of the building. It may be appropriate under certain circumstances that the number of stories in a building be determined in the same manner. Because of the varying requirements of the code that are related to the number of stories, such as means of egress, type of construction, fire resistance of shaft enclosures, and so on, each case should be judged individually based on the characteristics of the site and construction. In addition to those factors better related to the number of stories, other items to consider are fire department access, location of exterior exit doors, routes of exit travel, and types of separation between segments. Figure 202-15 illustrates one example in which the height of the building and number of stories are determined for a stepped or terraced building. In the case of a stepped or terraced building, the language total perimeter is used to define the situation separating the first story above grade plane from a basement and is intended to include the entire perimeter of the segment of the building. Therefore, in the cross section of Figure 202-16, the total perimeter of the down-slope segment would be bounded by the retaining wall, the down-slope exterior wall, and the east and west exterior walls. In the case illustrated, the building has three stories above grade plane and no basement for the down-slope segment. The measurement for the maximum height of the building would be based on the maximum height of the down-slope segment. Similar to an unnecessarily detailed calculation of grade plane, there is seldom a need to precisely calculate the height of a building. Typically, a general determination of building height is adequate to ensure compliance with the code. For example, it is not necessary to go into great detail evaluating the average roof elevation of a built-up roof that has a low degree of slope for Maximum height of building is 28 ft @ segments 1 and 2 Maximum number of stories is 3 @ segments 1 and 2 Grade plane Segment 1 Segment 2 Height = 28 ft Three stories Segment 3 Height = 22 ft Two stories Grade plane Segment 2 Grade plane Segment 3 10' 10' Wall Wall Wall Wall For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm. 8' 8' 8' Figure 202-15 Terraced building. 02_IBC Handbook_c02_p019-048.indd 36 13/04/15 12:21 PM Definitions 37 8' 4" 8' 4" 7' 2' 6" drainage purposes. The need for a more exacting determination of roof height is directly related to any uncertainty that may occur in reviewing for code compliance. HIGH-RISE BUILDING. A high-rise building is defined as a b uilding having one or more floor levels used for human occupancy located more than 75 feet (22,860 mm) a bove the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, as illustrated in Figur e 202-17. M ost moderately large and larger cities have apparatus that can fight fires up to about 75 f eet (22,860 mm); thus, the fire can be fought from the exterior. Any fires above this height will require that they be fought internally. Also, in s ome circles, 75 f eet (22,860 mm) i s considered to be about the maximum height for a b uilding that could be completely evacuated within a 02_IBC Handbook_c02_p019-048.indd 37 13/04/15 12:21 PM See preview video online!
