ASCE/SEI 48-05 specifies requirements for the design, testing, assembly, and erection of cold-formed tubular members and connections for steel electrical transmission pole structures. Topics discussed in this standard include loading, geometry, and analysis; design of members; design of connections; detailing and fabrication; testing; structural members and connections used in foundations; quality assurance/quality control; and assembly and erection. Also included are a supplementary commentary section and appendices. The primary resource document for the development of this standard is ASCE Manual 72.

Dynamic Response of Lattice Towers and Guyed Masts

Product #003-0023 — $54.00   $45.00

The information regarding the dynamic response of lattice towers is currently scattered throughout the literature, making it difficult for the practicing engineer to obtain the information necessary for design purposes. The Task Committee prepared this report by compiling and clarifying current methodologies for the dynamic response of communication towers in a single source. Both self-supporting lattice towers and guyed lattice masts (guyed lattice towers) are included.

Guide for the Design and Use of Concrete Poles, 1987

Product #003-0008 — $14.00   $10.00

Guide to Improved Earthquake Performance of Electric Power Systems

Product #003-0017 — $108.00   $80.00

This Manual issues methods to improve the earthquake response of electric power systems. It deals with major power system elements-power generating stations, transmission and distribution lines, substations, system communications and control, and ancillary facilities and functions. A large portion of the document is devoted to high-voltage substations, as this is where most power system damage has been concentrated.

Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02

Product #003-0009A — $54.00
(ASCE 7-98 is referenced in the 2002 NESC)

Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02 walks practicing professionals through the complicated process of assessing wind loads on a variety of buildings and other structures as set forth in ASCE Standard 7-02. This revised guide addresses new developments in the wind load provisions of ASCE 7-02, including analytical procedures, simplified procedures, terrain exposures, and internal pressures. In order to clearly identify the scope and limitations of the Standard, Guide to the Use of Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02 provides a brief review of the background material that forms the basis for the Standard's provisions. It includes a discussion of the general format of an analytical procedure used to determine wind loads and the various wind load parameters involved in this determination, such as velocity pressure, gust response factor, and pressure coefficients. Multiple examples using this analytical procedure to determine wind load are also included and worked out in detail. Guide to the Use of Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-02 will assist structural engineers who design buildings and structures following the wind load provisions.

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE 7-02

Product #003-0021 — $108.00   $60.00

ASCE 7-02 is the basis for the extreme wind loads of the 2002 NESC and will form the basis for the ice/wind combined loads of the 2007 NESC. The revised Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, SEI/ASCE 7-02, gives the latest consensus 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. Revisions incorporated in SEI/ASCE 7-02 include significant changes made to the following sections: general provisions, load combinations, live loads, flood loads, wind loads, snow loads, earthquake loads, and atmospheric ice loads.

Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data, CI/ASCE 38-02

Product #003-0024 — $48.00   $35.00

When subsurface utilities are discovered during the construction phase, the costs of conflict resolution and the potential for catastrophic damages are at their highest. That is why the collection and systematic depiction of reliable data for existing subsurface utilities is critical if engineers are to make informed decisions and support risk management protocols regarding a projectýýýs impact on these utilities. CI/ASCE Standard 38-02 presents a credible system for classifying the quality of utility location information that is placed in design plans. The Standard addresses issues such as: how utility information can be obtained; what technologies are available to obtain that information; how that information can be conveyed to the information users; who should be responsible for typical collection and depiction tasks; what factors determine which utility quality level attribute to assign to data; and what the relative costs and benefits of the various quality levels are. Used as a reference or as part of a specification, the Standard will assist engineers, project and utility owners, and constructors in developing strategies to reduce risk by improving the reliability of information on existing subsurface utilities in a defined manner.
