ASCE 7 Thickness Comparison

ASCE 7-05 vs ASCE 7-10

ASCE 7 Thickness

Thanks code writers!  You hit it out of the park this time!   A new load code that increased the thickness a half inch from 388 pages to 608 pages.  Way to go! This will continue to degrade this profession and the people who used to actually like it.
