Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI 7-22)

Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-22, provides the most up-to-date and coordinated loading provisions for general structural design. This standard prescribes design loads for all hazards including dead, live, soil, flood, tsunami, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, seismic, wind, and fire, as well as how to evaluate load combinations. The 2022 edition of ASCE 7, which supersedes ASCE 7-16, coordinates with the most current structural material standards including those from ACI, AISC, AISI, AWC, and TMS. Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States and around the globe, and is adopted by reference into the International Building Code, International Existing Building Code and International Residential Code.

PT Designer v1.2

PT Designer is a computer program for the design and analysis of linear post-tensioned concrete floor systems. The program features a robust computational core alongwith a user-friendly interface and attractive PDF outputs for efficient use.

With a number of useful updates and bug fixes in v1.2.0 of PT Designer, design of post-tensioned concrete frames has never been easier.

Wind Simple v2.0

Wind Simple is an intuitive computer program that implements the simplified procedure of ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 7-16 that applies to enclosed buildings with mean roof height up to 160 ft. Provide the basic wind speed, exposure category, mean roof height, building plan dimensions, and roof type and slope and Wind Simple will provide MWFRS and C&C design pressures for all wall and roof zones.
