Purpose and Background

Loading requirements for temporary structures has been lacking in US building codes. A code change to correct this issue was undertaken by a diverse group of experts that have experience with the development of the ASCE 7 Standard Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, representatives from jurisdictions that have experience with large events and temporary structures, as well as representatives from the US entertainment industry. These new load provisions have been approved for inclusion in the 2024 IBC. Additional coordinating provisions will be added to the 2027 IFC. These new load provisions will be migrated into ASCE 7-28. The session will discuss the reasons for creating the new load provisions for temporary structures in the IBC and the need to migrate these provisions into ASCE 7.
