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.

Provides stringent design criteria for multiple aspects associated with nuclear facilities. The goal of this standard is to ensure that nuclear facilities can withstand the effects of earthquake ground-shaking while retaining target performance goals.

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

Provides requirements for the design of guyed and self-supporting latticed steel electrical transmission structures, applicable for hot-rolled and cold-formed steel shapes. This title outlines analysis techniques for the geometrical configurations. Procedures for the design of individual members reflect experience and test data on steels.

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.

Provides the most up-to-date and coordinated loading standard for general structural design. ASCE 7-16 describes the means for determining design loads including dead, live, soil, flood, tsunami, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, wind, and fire, as well as how to assess load combinations.

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.

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.

This standard provides current minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shutoff devices. These devices contain both a means of sensing seismic activity and a way of shutting off the flow of gas. Applicable to systems carrying natural gas and propane, the devices are used in piping, equipment, and the appliances typically found in structures of three stories or less.

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.

Provides guidance for reducing risks from safety hazards at facilities managing urban stormwater. Although it is impractical to achieve zero risk at stormwater management facilities, steps can be taken to promote public safety. This guidance provides a framework for integrating protection of the public into the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of stormwater facililites.

Gathered into a single volume, these three standards establish guidelines for the design, installation, and operation and maintenance of stormwater impoundments. The standards focus on local and regional impoundments to manage, treat, and attenuate stormwater runoff, thus reducing the impact of stormwater on downstream areas.

ASCE/SEI Standard 41-06, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, is a performance-based seismic rehabilitation methodology. This title represents state-of-the-art knowledge in earthquake engineering and is a tool for the structural engineering profession to improve building performance in future earthquakes.
