ABSTRACT
ASCEstandard, MinimumDesignLoads for Buildin s and
Other Structures (ASCE7-98 a revision of ANSl/ASCl!7-95),
gives requirements for dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain,
ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations, that are
suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents.
The major revision of this standard involves the section on
wind loads. This section has been greatly expanded to include the latest information in the field ofwind load engineering. Requirements have been added for flood loads and
iceloads.Anappendixonserviceabilityrequirementshas
also been added. The structural load requirements provided
by this standard are intended for use by architects, structural
engineers, and those engaged
in preparing and administering
local building codes.

In April 1980, the Board of Direction approved
ASCE Rules for Standards Committees to govern the
writing and maintenance of standards developed by
the Society. All such standards are developed by a
consensus standards process managed by the Management Group F (MGF), Codes and Standards. The
consensus process includes balloting by the balanced
standards committee made up of Society members
and nonmembers, balloting by the membership of
ASCE as a whole, and balloting by the public. All
standards are updated or reaffirmed by the same process at intervals not exceeding 5 years.
The following Standards have been issued.

ANSVASCE 1-82 N-725 Guideline for Design and
Analysis of Nuclear Safety Related Earth

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and
Other Structurës
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
This standard provides minimum load requirements for the design of buildings and other structures
that are subject to building code requirements. Loads
and appropriate load combinations, which have been
developed to be used together, are set forth for
strength design and allowable stress design. For design strengths and allowable stress limits, design
specifications for conventional structural materials
used in buildings and modifications contained in this
standard shall be followed.

1.2 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply to the provisions
of the entire standard.

Allowable stress design: A method of proportioning structural members such that elastically computed stresses produced in the members by nominal
loads do not exceed specified allowable stresses (also
called working stress design).
Authority having jurisdiction: The organization, political subdivision, office or individual
charged with the responsibility of administering and
enforcing the provisions of this standard.
Buildings: Structures, usually enclosed by walls
and a roof, constructed to provide support or shelter

for an intended occupancy.
Design strength: The product of the nominal
strength and a resistance factor.
Essential facilities: Buildings and other structures that are intended to remain operational in the
event of extreme environmental loading from wind,
snow or earthquakes.
Factored load: The product of the nominal load
and a load factor.
Limit state: A condition beyond which a structure or member becomes unfit for service and is
judged either to be no longer useful for its intended
function (serviceability limit state) or to be unsafe
(strength limit state).
Load effects: Forces and deformations produced
in structural members by the applied loads.
Load factor: A factor that accounts for deviations of the actual load from the nominal load, for

uncertainties in the analysis that transforms the load
into a load effect, and for the probability that more
than one extreme load will occur simultaneously.
Loads: Forces or other actions that result from
the weight of all building materials, occupants and
their possessions, environmental effects, differential
movement, and restrained dimensional changes. Permanent loads are those loads in which variations over
time are rare or of small magnitude. All other loads
are variable loads. (See also nominal loads.)
Nominal loads: The magnitudes of the loads
specified in Sections 3 through 9 (dead, live, soil,
wind, snow, rain, flood and earthquake) of this
standard.
Nominal strength: The capacity of a structure or

member to resist the effects of loads, as determined
by computations using specified material strengths
and dimensions and formulas derived from accepted
principles of structural mechanics or by field tests or
laboratory tests of scaled models, allowing for modeling effects and differences between laboratory and
field conditions.
Occupancy: The purpose for which a building
or other structure, or part thereof, is used or intended
to be used.
Other structures: Structures, other than buildings, for which loads are specified in this standard.
P-delta effect: The second order effect on shears
and moments of frame members induced by axial
loads on a laterally displaced building frame.
Resistance factor: A factor that accounts for deviations of the actual strength from the nominal
strength and the manner and consequences of failure
(also called strength reduction factor).
Strength design: A method of proportioning
structural members such that the computed forces
produced in the members by the factored loads do
not exceed the member design strength (also called
load and resistance factor design).
Temporary facilities: Buildings or other structures that are to be in service for a limited time and
have a limited exposure period for environmental
loadings.

1.3 BASIC REQUIREMENTS

thereof, shall be designed and constructed to support

MINIMUM DESIGN LOADS FOR BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES

safely the factored loads in load combinations defined
in this document without exceeding the appropriate
strength limit states for the materials of construction.
Alternatively, buildings and other structures, and all
parts thereof, shall be designed and constructed to
support safely the nominal loads in load combinations defined in this document without exceeding the

appropriate specified allowable stresses for the materials of construction.

1.3.2 Serviceability
Structural systems and members thereof shall be
designed to have adequate stiffness to limit deflections, lateral drift, vibration, or any other deformations that adversely affect the intended use and performance of buildings and other structures.
1.3.3 Self-straining Forces
Provision shall be made for anticipated selfstraining forces arising from differential settlements
of foundations and from restrained dimensional
changes due to temperature, moisture, shrinkage,
creep, and similar effects.
1.3.4 Analysis
Load effects on individual structural members
shall be determined by methods of structural analysis
that take into account equilibrium, general stability,
geometric compatibility, and both short- and longterm material properties. Members that tend to accumulate residual deformations under repeated service
loads shall have included in their analysis the added
eccentricities expected to occur during their service
life.
1.3.5 Counteracting Structural Actions
All structural members and systems, and all
components and cladding in a building or other structure, shall be designed to resist forces due to earthquake and wind, with consideration of overturning,
sliding, and uplift, and continuous load paths shall be
provided for transmitting these forces to the foundation. Where sliding is used to isolate the elements,
the effects of friction between sliding elements shall
be included as a force. Where all or a portion of the
resistance to these forces is provided by dead load,
the dead load shall be taken as the minimum dead
load likely to be in place during the event causing
the considered forces. Consideration shall be given to
the effects of vertical and horizontal deflections resulting from such forces.


1.4 GENERAL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Buildings and other structures shall be designed
to sustain local damage with the structural system as
a whole remaining stable and not being damaged to
an extent disproportionate to the original local damage. This shall be achieved through an arrangement
of the structural elements that provides stability to
the entire structural system by transferring loads from
any locally damaged region to adjacent regions capable of resisting those loads without collapse. This
shall be accomplished by providing sufficient continuity, redundancy, or energy-dissipating capacity
(ductility), or a combination thereof, in the members
of the structure.

1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF BUILDINGS AND
OTHER STRUCTURES
Buildings and other structures shall be classified,
based on the nature of occupancy, according to Table
1-1 for the purposes of applying flood, wind, snow,
and earthquake provisions. The categories range from
I to IV, where Category I represents buildings and
other structures with a low hazard to human life in
the event of failure and Category IV represents essential facilities. Each building or other structure
shall be assigned to the highest applicable category
or categories. Assignment of the same structure to
multiple categories, based on use and the type of
load condition being evaluated (e.g. wind, seismic,
etc.), shall be permissible.
When buildings or other structures have multiple
uses (occupancies), the relationship between the uses
of various parts of the building or other structure and

the independence of the structural systems for those
various parts shall be examined. The classification for
each independent structural system of a multiple use
building or other structure shall be that of the highest
usage group in any part of the building or other
structure which is dependent on that basic structural
system.

1.6 ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONSTO
EXISTING STRUCTURES
When an existing building or other structure is
enlarged or otherwise altered, structural members affected shall be strengthened if necessary so that the
factored loads defined in this document will be sup-

hazardous substances and do not qualify as Category IV structures shall be eligible for classification

as Category II structures for wind loads if these structures are operated in accordance with
mandatory procedures that are acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and which effectively
diminish the effects of wind on critical structural elements or which alternatively protect against
harmful releases during and after hurricanes.
Buildings and other structures designated as essential facilities including, but not limited to:
Hospitals and other health care facilities having surgery or emergency treatment facilities
Fire, rescue and police stations and emergency vehicle garages
Designated earthquake, hurricane, or other emergency shelters
Communications centers and other facilities required for emergency response

2.0 COMBINATIONS OF LOADS

2.1 GENERAL
Buildings and other structures shall be designed
using the provisions of either Section 2.3 or 2.4.Either Section 2.3 or 2.4 shall be used exclusively for
proportioning elements of a particular construction
material throughout the structure.

2.2 SYMBOLS AND NOTATION
D = dead load;
E = earthquake load;
F = load due to fluids with well-defined pressures
and maximum heights:
F, = flood load;
H = load due to lateral earth pressure, ground water
pressure, or pressure of bulk materials;
L = live load;
L, = roof live load;
R = rain load;
S = snow load;

T = self-straining force;
W = wind load.

2.3 COMBINING FACTORED LOADS USING
STRENGTH DESIGN
2.3.1 Applicability
The load combinations and load factors given in
Section 2.3.2shall be used only in those cases in
which they are specifically authorized by the applicable material design standard.
2.3.2 Basic Combinations
Structures, components, and foundations shall be
designed so that their design strength equals or exceeds the effects of the factored loads in the following combinations:

1. 1.4(0 + F)
2. 1.2(0+ F + ZJ + 1.6(L + H) + O.5(Lr or S or R )
3. 1.20 + 1.6(L,or S or R) + ( O X or 0.SW)
4. 1.20 + 1.6W + 0.5L + O.5(Lror S or R)
5. 1.20 + 1.OE+ 0.5L + 0.2s
6. 0.9D
+ 1.6W + 1.6H
7. 0.90 + 1.OE + 1.6H

.

Exceptions:

1. The load factor on L in combinations (3), (4),and
(5)shall equal 1.0 for garages, areas occupied as
places of public assembly, and all areas where the
live load is greater than 100 Ib/ft? (pounds-force

per square foot) (4.79kN/m2).
2. The load factor on H shall be set equal to zero in
combinations (6)and (7) if the structural action
due to H counteracts that due to W or E. Where
lateral earth pressure provides resistance to structural actions from other forces, it shall not be included in H but shall be included in the design
resistance.
Each relevant strength limit state shall be investigated. Effects of one or more loads not acting shall
be investigated. The most unfavorable effects from
both wind and earthquake loads shall be investigated,
where appropriate, but they need not be considered to
act simultaneously. Refer to Section 9.2.2for specific
definition of the earthquake load effect E.'

2.3.3 Load Combinations Including Flood Load
When a structure is located in a flood zone (Section 5.3.1), the following load combinations shall be
considered:

1. In V Zones or coastal A Zones, 1.6W in combinations (4)and (6)shall be replaced by 1.6W +
2.OFa.
2. In non-coastal A Zones, 1.6W in combinations (4)
and (6)shall be replaced by 0.8W + l.OF,.

2.4 COMBINING NOMINAL LOADS USING
ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN
2.4.1 Basic Combinations
Loads listed herein shall be considered to act in
the following combinations, whichever produces the
most unfavorable effect in the building, foundation,
or structural member being considered. Effects of one
or more loads not acting shall be considered.

1. D
2. D + L + F + H + T
3. D ( W or 0.7E) + L
4. 0.60 + W + H
5. 0.60 + 0.7E + H

+

+ (L,orSorR)
+ (L, or S or R)

'The same E from Section 9 is used for Sections 2.3.2 and 2.4.1.
Refer to the Commentay for Section 9.
