ASCE/SEI 24-24, provides minimum requirements for flood resistant design and construction of structures that are subject to building code requirements or floodplain management regulations in flood hazard areas. This standard applies to new construction, including subsequent work to such...
Here's a brief overview: Soil Compressibility 1. *Definition*: Soil compressibility refers to the reduction in soil volume due to applied loads, causing settlement and deformation. 2. *Factors Affecting Compressibility*: Moisture content, soil type, density, and stress history....
Both ASCE 24 and 44 CFR Parts 59 and 60 have long prohibited sub-grade parking under residential in flood zones. But both allow sub-grade parking under non-residential in flood zones. ASCE 24 allows sub-grade parking under mixed-use in flood zones. The allowance for mixed-use is...
There are many uncertainties associated with nonlinear modeling of structures including the variability of material strength, record-to-record variability in ground motion, level of damping, actual ductility available in each element, etc. In order to obtain an unbiased prediction of performance...
ASCE 41-17 permits the use of the generalized force-deformation relation for deformation-controlled steel elements depicted in Figure 9-2 using the modeling parameters and acceptance criteria specified in Table 9.7-1 for nonlinear procedures. The yield point, Qy, for flexural action in beams is...
