Example 2 — Equivalent lateral seismic force (simplified)

ASCE 7-22 establishes updated minimum design loads for structures, featuring the first-ever dedicated tornado load chapter, a transition to Multi-Period Design Spectra (MPDS) for seismic analysis, and digital hazard tools to improve accuracy. These changes, aimed at increasing resilience, mark a significant shift from the 2016 edition, making the new standards essential for compliance, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) .
