Design Loads on Structures During Construction
This standard provides minimum design load requirements during construction for buildings and other structures. It addresses partially completed structures and temporary structures used during construction. The loads specified are suitable for use either with strength design (such as ultimate strength design and load and resistance factor design) or with allowable stress design (ASD) criteria. The loads are equally applicable to all conventional construction methods. Topics include loads and load combination, dead and live loads, construction loads, lateral earth pressures, environmental loads, and performance and safety criteria.
