Adopting ASCE 7 into model building codes (such as the International Building Code, or IBC) establishes the minimum legal threshold for safety in structural design. The represents a modernized approach to structural engineering, introducing state-of-the-art scientific methodologies to calculate environmental hazards and load combinations.
