Chapter 6 (Tsunami Loads and Effects) was refined to improve the accuracy of hydrodynamic force calculations on vertical structural elements.

ASCE 7-22, "Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures," establishes updated, mandatory standards for environmental and occupant-based loads, including new dedicated tornado load provisions. Referenced in the 2024 International Building Code, the standard shifts toward digital data integration, replacing traditional maps with the ASCE Hazard Tool.

ASCE 7 prescribes the minimum design loads for all types of environmental hazards. It dictates how structural systems must be engineered to withstand: Soil and hydrostatic pressures Wind, snow, and rain loads Seismic and tsunami forces Atmospheric ice and fire risks Chapter 6 (Tsunami Loads and Effects) was refined

New equations account for modern, highly insulated roofs that retain more snow due to lower heat loss. 3. Digital Access and the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool For more details, visit American Society of Civil Engineers

As climate data evolves, coastal construction requirements must follow suit.
