This text establishes the notion that design is a creative process, and not just an execution of framing proposals. It cultivates imaginative approaches by presenting examples specifically related to essential building codes and standards. Tying together precision and accuracy - it also bridges the gap between two design approaches - one based on initiative skill and the other based on computer skill. The book explains loads and load combinations typically used in building design, explores methods for determining design wind loads using the provisions of ASCE 7-10, and examines wind tunnel procedures. It defines conceptual seismic design, as the avoidance or minimization of problems created by the effects of seismic excitation. It introduces the concept of performance-based design (PBD). It also addresses serviceability considerations, prediction of tall building motions, damping devices, seismic isolation, blast-resistant design, and progressive collapse. The final chapters explain gravity and lateral systems for steel, concrete, and composite buildings -- Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Building, Iron and steel. 650 0 $a Concrete construction. 650 0 $a Composite construction. 650 0 $a Tall buildings $x Design and construction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806080228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7C1C13EE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
