Flood and Tsunami Loads: Time-Saving Methods Using the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16 PDF

CATS Abstract:

Concise, visual explanations of code provisions that apply to flood and tsunami loads.

This practical guide provides engineers with a visual overview of the code provisions to be used when designing structures to withstand floods and tsunamis. Free of complex and confusing explanations, Flood and Tsunami Loads: Time-Saving Methods Using the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16 utilizes helpful design aids, figures, and flowcharts to provide straightforward, start-to-finish instructions.

Real-world examples are included to illustrate the application of each code provision, and companion online Excel spreadsheets can be used to accurately calculate loads.

Contains step-by-step procedures for:

• Hydrostatic flood loads

• Wave loads due to flooding

• Debris impact loads due to flooding

• Flood load combinations

• Tsunami analysis

• Hydrodynamic tsunami loads

• Debris impact loads due to tsunamis

• Tsunami load combinations
