The new ASCE Standard 705 Standard (including Supplement No.1) provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. A detailed commentary containing explanatory and supplementary information to assist users of ASCE 705 is included. This ASCE 705 edition is a complete revision of ASCE 702. The new Standard includes revised and significantly reorganized provisions for seismic design of structures, as well as revisions in the provisions for determining live, flood, wind, snow, and atmospheric ice loads. The inclusion of Supplement No. 1 into ASCE 705 ensures that there is full and complete coordination between the 2006 International Building Code and ASCE 705. The updates which comprised Supplement No. 1 are seamlessly integrated into the 705 volume, and are not available anywhere else. ASCE 705 is an integral part of the building codes of the United States. The earthquake load provisions in ASCE 705 are substantially adopted by reference in the 2006 International Building Code and the 2006 NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Numerous other provisions of all other ASCE 705 sections are also adopted by reference by both model building codes including the provisions for calculating wind loads and snow loads. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find the structural load requirements essential to their practice.
