520 _aThis 1995 revision of the ASCE Standard Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures is a replacement of ASCE 7-93. This Standard provides requirements for dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations, that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. The provisions pertaining to flood and ice loads are completely new as is the appendix on Serviceability.
520 8 _aSignificant revisions have been made to the wind, snow, and seismic provisions. The wind provisions represent a significant advance in the methodology of calculating wind loads and now utilize 3-second gust wind speeds. The seismic provisions of ASCE 7-93 have been revised to reflect revisions contained in the 1994 NEHRP Recommended Provisions. The commentary of each section has been greatly expanded to aid the user in understanding the provisions and their application.
