Of particular note, the environmental load provisions have been aligned with those of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10. Topics include: load factors and load combinations dead and live loads construction loads lateral earth pressure and environmental loads. The loads are applicable to all conventional construction methods. The loads specified are suitable for use either with strength design criteria, such as ultimate strength design (USD) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD), or with allowable stress design (ASD) criteria.
It addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction.
Design Loads on Structures during Construction, ASCE/SEI 37-14, describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load combinations, and load factors affecting buildings and other structures that are under construction. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. Prepared by the Design Loads on Structures during Construction Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE Design loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading and for the variability of temporary loads.
