TheSeismic Design Manual, published every five to six years, includes sections on general seismic design considerations, analysis considerations, and systems not specifically detailed for seismic resistance. Different seismic force resisting systems are covered in the balance of the sections, along with diaphragms, chord and collectors as well as an introduction to engineered damping systems.
The 3rd ed. Seismic Design Manual, first published in 2018, includes sections on general seismic design considerations, analysis considerations, and systems not specifically detailed for seismic resistance. Different seismic force resisting systems are covered in the balance of the sections, along with diaphragms, chord and collectors as well as an introduction to engineered damping systems.
The Seismic Design Manual includes hundreds of pages of comprehensive design examples, including connections, updated for the 2016 AISC Seismic Provisions. Examples are shown with LRFD and ASD design methodologies side-by-side.
MSHA has updated and revised the "Engineering and Design Manual: Coal Refuse Disposal Facilities," which was originally published in 1975. The new edition can be downloaded using the links provided below.
The Manual represents guidance for designers, coal operators, and regulators to meet the requirements of 30 C.F.R. 77.216(a) in designing, constructing, and maintaining dams at coal mines. The guidance provides information and suggested methods and procedures to design safe and reliable impoundments and dams at coal mines because each site has unique conditions and features.
The purpose of this manual is to assist in the design of precast concrete structures using the seismic design provisions of the 2006 edition of the IBC. The seismic design provisions of the IBC are discussed in detail and are illustrated in this publication with examples of typical building and parking structures located in regions of low, moderate, and high seismic hazard and founded on different types of soil. In the examples, structural members are designed and detailed according to Chapter 19 of the IBC, which is based primarily on ACI 318-05 with a few modifications as well as ASCE 7-05.
This thesis presents a comprehensive seismic design manual to be used to design and construct simple Interlocking Compressed Earth Block (ICEB) structures in seismically active regions. ICEBs are earth blocks made primarily of soil and stabilized with cement. They have female and male stud mechanisms designed to interlock when stacked, eliminating the need for mortar. The blocks can accept reinforcement and grout after they are placed. While ICEB construction is similar to conventional masonry construction, current design code standards for masonry only partially capture the actual behavior of ICEB structures. This thesis seeks to supplement the existing masonry design procedures and tailor them for use with ICEBs.
Additionally, this paper presents a preliminary design of ICEB shear walls for a disaster reconstruction project in the Philippines. While many structures in Southeast Asia and the Malay Archipelago are constructed from earthen blocks, very few are engineered. Of those that are, a lack of formal design guidance specific to ICEB construction leaves most engineers and designers with conventional concrete masonry design practices, some of which are not applicable for use with ICEBs.
This seminar introduces the 2016 AISC Seismic Provisions and the 3rd Edition of the Seismic Design Manual. It highlights proper application of key design and detailing requirements and introduces important technical changes in the recently updated Seismic Provisions. Design examples from the new 3rd Edition of the Seismic Design Manual will be included. The seminar reviews general design considerations, performance goals and role of inelastic and force control elements. The seminar then reviews provisions applicable to all seismic force resisting systems before an in-depth review of moment frames and braced frames. This seminar is the 2019 Louis F. Geschwindner Seminar series.

The ANSI/AWC 2021 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) provides criteria for proportioning, designing, and detailing engineered wood systems, members, and connections in lateral force resisting systems. Engineered design of wood structures to resist wind or seismic forces is either by allowable stress design (ASD) or load and resistance factor design (LRFD). Nominal shear capacities of diaphragms and shear walls are provided for reference assemblies.
Seismic design recommendations for substations, including qualification of different equipment types are discussed. Design recommendations consist of seismic criteria, qualification methods and levels, structural capacities, performance requirements for equipment operation, installation methods, and documentation.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.

CPCI Design Manual Webinar Series
CPCI launched its first ever webinar series to present each chapter of the CPCI Fifth Edition Design Manual. The webinars were presented by the Chapter Editors to CPCI members, engineers, owners/developers, designers and AEC professionals, from May to October, 2018, and are still available for viewing.
CHAPTER 3 - DESIGN OF ELEMENTS
The chapter on element design has required revisions due to changes in A23.3 and NBCC 2015. Sections dealing with slabs, hollowcore and both prestressed and non-prestressed beams have been examined to include recent revisions in A23.3. A new example on partial prestressing has been added, and all examples dealing with shear and torsion have been evaluated in the context of the new A23.3 code. Fourth edition errata have been included in this edition, and design examples, graphs and figures have been updated throughout.
CHAPTER 4 - DESIGN OF CONNECTIONS
Design examples and calculations have been updated throughout. The example design of the cazaly hanger has been extensively updated from the last edition. Two new design examples are included; A design example for the baseplate and anchor bolt sizing of a column connection has been added; A design example for strength analysis of a weld group has also been added.
CHAPTER 5 - ARCHITECTURAL PRECAST CONCRETE
The design of architectural precast concrete has been updated to reflect current industry practices. Important new publication references include CPCI Architectural Precast Concrete Walls: Best Practice Guide (2017) and two new precast building envelope guides by RDH Building Science Inc., Maintenance and Inspection Manual for Precast Concrete Building Enclosures (2016), and Meeting and Exceeding Building Code Thermal Performance Requirements (2017).
Bridge designers have had difficulty applying the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) bridge seismic design specification since its adoption in 1983 because it requires an understanding of dynamic analysis, seismic hazard concepts, elastic and inelastic structural response, soil-structure interaction, and structure ductility, among other things.
The difficulty of applying AASHTO's seismic specification is not well understood nationwide and has been reflected in inappropriate project scoping, budgets, and schedules. Guidelines to help bridge designers apply the specification to actual common bridge types around the United States have been lacking. The lack of these guidelines has resulted in both nonconservative and overly conservative designs around the United States.
Application guidelines have also been lacking for geotechnical engineers who play a very important role on the design team. The successful application of AASHTO's bridge seismic design specification requires strong teamwork between structural and geotechnical engineers.
Earthquake design is a national requirement, not just a West Coast one as many would think. The current AASHTO specification emphasizes the national importance of earthquake design by showing areas of moderate to high seismic design requirements in the Northeast, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, California, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.
