Sponsored by the Task Committee on Lift-Slab Construction of the Technical Council on Forensic Engineering of ASCE. In 1987, the collapse of Ambiance Plaza in Bridgeport, Connecticut, demonstrated the need to re-evaluate the engineering of lift-slab construction and determine what is needed to make it safe. This report addresses engineering requirements for lift-slab construction and presents recommendations to engineers, architects, and lift-slab contractors for its safe use. Topics include: Concepts and details of various lift-slab systems; Theories on the cause of the Ambiance Plaza collapse; Discussions on other failures and problems; Considerations and recommendations for lifting collars and lifting equipment; Considerations and recommendations for stability; Recommendations for construction loads; Discussions and recommendations for preventing progressive collapse; and Considerations for planning and execution of lift-slab projects.

Prepared by the Task Committee on Structural Loadings of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This Manual provides the most relevant and up-to-date information related to transmission line structural loads. The understanding of transmission line structural loads continues to improve as a result of research, testing, and field experience. Updated and revised, this manual covers weather-related loads, relative reliability-based design, and loading specifics applied to prevent cascading types of failures, as well as loads to protect against damage and injury during construction and maintenance. This manual is intended to be a resource that can be readily absorbed into a loading policy. This Manual will be valuable to engineers involved in utility, electrical, and structural engineering.
