ASCE Standards on Structural Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of Buildings

Résumé du livre

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Committee on Structural Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of Buildings prepares standards in three areas; structural condition assessment, assessment of the building envelope, and assessment of buildings for seismic considerations. The first standard completed is ASCE 11-90 Standard Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings. Current work of the committee includes revising ASCE 11, drafting a standard on assessment of the building envelope, and conversion of various documents of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) related to seismic evaluation of buildings to standards.
