Establishes the minimum requirements necessary to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an Automated People Mover (APM) system. An APM is defined as a guided transit mode that is fully automated, featuring vehicles that operate on guideways with exclusive right-of-way.

"This document uses both the International System of Units (SI) and customary units."

Standard ASCE/SEI 41-13 describes deficiency-based and systematic procedures that use performance-based principles to evaluate and retrofit existing buildings to withstand the effects of earthquakes.

Provides techniques for use by engineers, owners, and manufacturers for measuring oxygen transfer and evaluating the performance of aeration devices under process conditions. The methods presented are considered to be well developed and provide satisfactory precision for a wide range of aeration processes in suspended-growth biological systems.

This is the fourth standard in a series that enhances the probabilistic characterization and understanding of the behavior of a key groundwater parameter, the saturated hydraulic conductivity. Standard ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 65-17 provides guidelines for calculating saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), permeability, and porosity of fine-grained soils.

Establishes guidelines for controlling accelerated erosion caused by human activities at construction sites. Uncontrolled erosion is costly and accompanied by a host of financial, legal, and environmental problems. This Standard provides tools to ensure that the discharge of sediment does not significantly increase at a construction site compared with preconstruction conditions.

Talks about ASCE/SEI Standard 25-06 that provides minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shut-off devices and systems. This standard is applicable only to devices carrying gaseous fuels, such as natural gas and propane.
