Flood and Tsunami Loads: Time-Saving Methods Using the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16

Concise, visual explanations of the code provisions that apply to flood and tsunami loadsThis practical visual guide provides engineers with an overview of the code provisions to be used when designing structures to withstand floods and tsunamis. Free of complex and confusing explanations, the book utilizes numerous design aids, figures, and flowcharts to provide step-by-step procedures that engineers can follow to determine flood and tsunami loads.Flood and Tsunami Loads: Time-Saving Methods Using the 2018 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16 focuses on how to correctly apply the code provisions in a simple and straightforward manner. Real-world examples for each applicable code section are included to illustrate the application of each code provision, and companion online Excel spreadsheets can be used to calculate loads accurately and efficiently.Highly visual with figures, flowcharts, and examples used to explain each procedureExamples and companion Excel spreadsheets present calculations in both U.S. and SI unitsWritten by a recognized engineering educator and experienced authorDavid A.
