A variety of factors—changing economic conditions, concern for historic preservation, emphasis on fully utilizing conveniently located structures, space shortages, and increasing cost of materials and products used in the construction of new buildings—has resulted in a need to evaluate and more fully utilize the existing building inventory. To this end, this Standard (an update of ASCE 11-90) provides the design community with guidelines for assessing the structural conditions of existing buildings constructed of combinations of material, including concrete, masonry, metals, and wood. This volume contains of an overview of preliminary and detailed assessment procedures, of materials properties and test methods, and of evaluation procedures for various physical conditions of the structure. This Standard will provide a much-needed resource standard for building condition assessment for selected materials and for other areas related to the structural performance of buildings. Professional engineers, building owners, and regulatory officials will find this Standard invaluable.

Prepared by the Subcommittee on Guyed Transmission Structures of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. Design of Guyed Electrical Transmission Structures describes the engineering considerations involved in designing guyed structures to support electric transmission lines. Guyed structures generally have the advantages of being lightweight, easy to erection, capable of preassembly, and requiring a simple foundation design. A considerable range of applications is available, from simple guyed wood poles to the very large guyed steel-latticed structures. This Manual describes various types of guyed structures in use; presents typical guys and fittings; illustrates guy anchors and foundations; explores analysis and design techniques specific to guyed structures; discusses unique construction and maintenance problems; and displays both hand and computer calculations to illustrate some of the concepts discussed in the document.

Copublished with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) Standard for Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for Engineered Wood Construction provides design provisions based on reliability theory for engineered wood structures. This Standard, prepared jointly by ASCE and AF&PA, reflects the current state of knowledge and offers uniform practice in the design of engineered wood structures. Specifically, the Standard covers: design requirements; tension members; compression members and bearing; flexural members; members with combined bending and axial loads; mechanical connections; structural-use panels; shear walls and diaphragms; and serviceability. The Appendixes address: resistance of spaced columns; glued laminated timber; ponding; qualification of fasteners and connectors; resistance of shear plates; and design of panel-based assemblies. A Glossary and a Commentary provide additional background information.
