Synopsis

Prepared by the Design Loads on Structures during Construction Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of the ASCE.

Design loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading and for the variable of temporary loads. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. Design Loads on Structures during Construction, ASCE 37-14, describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load combinations, and load factors affecting buildings and other structures that are under construction. it addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction. the loads specified are suitable for use either with strength design criteria, such as ultimate strength design (USD) and load resistance factor design (LRFD), or with allowable stress design (ASD) criteria. The loads are applicable to all conventional construction methods.
