ASCE 7-22 specifies the minimum design loads—including dead, live, soil, flood, tsunami, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, and wind loads—and their combinations. These criteria are directly incorporated into the International Building Code (IBC) and are legal requirements for structural integrity and public safety.

Flood load provisions now align closely with the latest FEMA guidelines and coastal high-hazard zone delineations, increasing required freeboard elevations in high-risk zones.

ASCE 7-22 ("Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures") serves as the primary national standard for structural engineering, incorporating new tornado provisions, multi-period seismic response spectra, and updated snow load mapping. It defines "story" in the context of structural stability, setting strict limits on story drift and requiring evaluation of vertical irregularities such as soft stories.

The standard expands tsunami hazard zones to include more coastal regions in the western United States and overseas territories, updating inundation hydrodynamic calculations. 4. Structure of the ASCE 7-22 Document Summary of Key Differences: ASCE 7-16 vs
