| Abstract: |
Standards by themselves do not eliminate construction failures, they do not substitute for experience, good judgment and care, but do provide minimum criteria for desired performance and safety. ASCE/SEI 37,Design Loads on Structures During Construction Standardspecifies design loads, load combinations and safety factors to be used in the analysis and design of structures during transient stages of construction, as well as of temporary structures used in construction operations. This paper is a brief presentation of the purpose, substance, and selected details of the Standard that has been developed and in use in the United States. |
