The book will also cover wind-induced loss estimation. This new edition include a guide to the thoroughly revised, 2010 version of the ASCE 7 Standard provisions for wind loads; incorporate major advances achieved in recent years in the design of tall buildings for wind; present material on retrofitting and loss estimation; and improve the presentation of the material to increase its usefulness to structural engineers.  \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew focus on tall buildings helps make the analysis and design guidance easier and less complex.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the new simplified design methods of ASCE 7-10, guiding designers to clearly understand the spirit and letter of the provisions and use the design methods with confidence and ease.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes new coverage of retrofitting for wind load resistance and loss estimation from hurricane winds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThoroughly revised and updated to conform with current practice and research.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eEmil Simiu, PE, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is a NIST Fellow and a Fellow at the American Society of Civil Engineers.
