Book Description

The 2012 IBC Structural/Seismic Design Manual provides a step-by-step approach to applying the structural provisions of the 2012 International Building Code and referenced standards. Volume 1 contains code application examples based on the IBC and ASCE 7-10 including determination of seismic irregularities, combinations of structural systems, determination of drift, support of discontinuous systems, and analysis of seismic forces applied to equipment, non-structural elements and non-building structures. Volume 2 contains code application examples of light-frame, tilt-up and masonry construction. Diaphragm flexibility, center of mass, collectors and chords, deflection and anchorage are discussed through examples. In and out-of-plane seismic loads are analyzed. Volume 3 contains code application examples of concrete construction. Moment frames, braced frames and shear wall construction are analyzed. Volume 4 contains code application examples of steel construction. Moment frames and braced frames are analyzed. Volume 5 contains examples of seismically isolated buildings and buildings with supplemental damping.
