Author(s):	S.K. Ghosh, PhD Author Information S. K. Ghosh, PhD, is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ACI and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, the Masonry Standards Joint Committee, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He just completed a term as a member of the Board of Direction of ACI and a term as a member of the Board of Direction of EERI (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in most recent earthquakes. , Susan Dowty, SE Author Information Susan Dowty, SE, received her bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1984 and her master of science degree from California State University, Long Beach in 1990. She is a registered civil and structural engineer in the State of California and has over twenty years of experience in the administration and development of the Uniform Building Code provisions. She has played an active role in the development of structural provisions for the International Building Code, serving as the Structural Committee Secretariat. She has also been instrumental in the development of a number of structural engineering related publications produced by ICC and SKGA. She served as the consultant for the reformat of the ASCE 7-05 seismic provisions and has recently completed her four-year term on the California Building Standards Commission. , Prabuddha Dasgupta, PhD, PE Author Information Prabuddha Dasgupta, PhD, PE, received his doctorate degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. For his PhD research, he investigated the behavior of a new type of moment connection between fiber reinforced, concrete-encased steel truss composite beams and precast/existing RC columns. The proposed connection relies on external steel rods for moment transfer, and is suitable for use in regions of high seismicity. Mr. Dasgupta obtained his bachelors of engineering degree in civil engineering from Jadavpur University, India, and his master of technology degree in civil engineering (structural engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Kanpur, India. His master of technology research focused on the confinement aspects of hollow RC bridge piers. After completing his master of technology studies, he also worked in IIT Kanpur as a senior research associate before attending the University of Michigan for his PhD. He joined S. K. Ghosh Associates, Inc., in 2005.

Be the first to review this product.

Significant Changes to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-10: An Illustrated Guide focuses on the revisions to the seismic load requirements set forth in the most recent edition of Minimum Design Loads for Building and Other Structures, ASCE Standard 7-10. Mirroring the organization of the seismic chapters in ASCE 7-10, this reference briefly summarizes each change to the seismic provisions that might affect actual practice or enforcement and immediately follows up with the precise wording of the change. The impact of each update is explained in clear, straightforward language accompanied by diagrams, examples, and color photographs and illustrations to enrich the reader's understanding.
