The forces Fh and Fht are to be applied to the windward face of the component, considering all possible wind directions, ...

Given that all cantilever column systems resist inelastic demand by hinging at the base, the committee felt that the compactness requirements required ...

Errata are intended to correct editorial issues with the standard, but not to make technical change. Reasons are never posted for errata. Ordinary concrete cantilever columns have never been permitted in Seismic Design Category C, D, E or F for building structures. The section 12.5. limitation on axial ...

In earlier editions of ASCE 7 (16, 10, etc) the rule was that if the weight of the nonstructural component exceeded 25% of the combined weight of the structure and component, then explicit modeling of the component with the structure was required. ASCE 7-22 modified this requirement ...
