Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design V1.1

Abstract

  • Prepared by the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers

    Prestandard for Performance-Based Wind Design, V1.1 presents recommended alternatives to the prescriptive procedures for wind design of buildings contained in the nationally adopted standard Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) and in the International Building Code (IBC). Developed as a response to increasing interest in performance-based design (PBD), this prestandard aids in resolving conflicts in performance objectives that exist when using prescriptive procedures for the wind design and performance-based procedures for seismic design of individual buildings. It facilitates design of more efficient buildings that adhere to desired building functionality requirements and reduce property damage from wind while meeting public safety and performance requirements.
