UFC 3-301-01, UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC): STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING (01-OCT-2019)

UFC 3-301-01, UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC): STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING (01-OCT-2019)., This Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) provides requirements for structures designed and constructed for the Department of Defense (DoD). These technical requirements are based on the 2012 International Building Code (IBC 2012), as modified by UFC 1-200- 01. This information shall be used by structural engineers to develop design calculations, specifications, plans, and design-build Requests for Proposal (RFPs). UFC 1-200-01 uses and supplements IBC 2012 as the building code for DoD. Chapter 2 of this UFC further modifies the IBC for structural-specific design requirements and is organized by the chapter of IBC that each section modifies. Chapter 3 of this UFC further modifies ASCE/SEI 7-10 for structural-specific design requirements and is organized by the chapter of ASCE/SEI 7 that each section modifies. The climatic and seismic data included in this UFC are intended as a tool to assist in the consistent interpretation of the corresponding data in the IBC at significant DoD installations within the United States, and as the basis for applying the provisions of UFC 1-200-01 to significant DoD installations outside of the United States. Chapter 4 provides additional guidance for the design of structures other than buildings.
