 - 1 online resource (xviii, 160 pages) 
<br/><br/>Introduction -- Review of ASCE 7-16 -- Significant changes in ASCE versions -- Testing and inspections -- Wind-related solved examples -- Miscellaneous structures: calculations of wind pressures -- Introduction: floods -- ASCE 7-16 for flood loads -- ASCE 24-14 for flood loads -- Wind versus storm surge: Hurricane Irma experience. 
<br/><br/> This book will cover the latest methods for the structural design to mitigate potential damage due to high-speed winds, storm surges, tornadoes, and inland flooding (all of which could be brought on by hurricane conditions). It will provide detailed explanations of the new ASCE 7-16 standard (to be released in March of 2017) which deals with designing buildings to withstand loads, including wind, snow, earthquakes, etc. Unique to this book is added coverage of ASCE 24-14, which regulates flood-resistant design of structures. It will provide numerous design examples throughout. It will also examine the processes involved in material selection to comply with the latest codes and standards.
