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.
It includes:
- Sample structures
- ASCE 7 equations applied to examples
- Code and standard references for each example An excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam.
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.
It includes sample structures of wood, cold-formed steel, tilt-up concrete and masonry, including:
- Four-Story Wood Light-Frame Hotel
- Cold-formed Steel Light-frame Three-story Apartment on Concrete Podium
- Tilt-up Building with Plan Irregularities
- Tilt-up Wall Building with Openings An excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam.
Volume 3 contains code application examples of concrete construction. Moment frames, braced frames and shear wall construction are analyzed.
It includes sample structures containing concrete moment frames or shear walls, diaphragm and pile design, including:
- Reinforced Concrete Wall Reinforced Concrete Wall with Coupling Beams
- Reinforced Concrete Special Moment Frame
- Reinforced Concrete Parking Garage
- Pile Foundation Design
- Design of Concrete Diaphragm and Collector An excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam.
Volume 4 contains code application examples of steel construction. Moment frames and braced frames are analyzed.
It includes sample structures with steel moment frames or braced frames and steel connections including:
- Special moment frame
- Special Concentrically Braced Frame
- Buckling Restrained Braced Frame
- Special Plate Shear Walls
- Eccentrically Braced Frame
- Multi-panel Ordinary Concentric Braced Frame
- Metal Deck Diaphragm Design – Flexible and Rigid Diaphragms
- Special Moment Frame Base Connection
- Braced Frame Base Plate An excellent reference and study guide for the NCEES Structural Exam.
These manuals are an invaluable resource for civil and structural engineers, architects, academics and students.
