ASCE/SEI 55 16:2016

Standard ASCE/SEI 55-16 provides minimum criteria for the analysis, design, and performance of membrane-covered cable and rigid member structures, collectively known as tensile member structures. It is applicable to both permanent and temporary structures. The requirements of this standard apply whether the tensile membrane structure is independent of or attached to another structure. Standard ASCE/SEI 55-16 updates the previous edition and now includes both load resistance factor design (LRFD) and allowable stress design (ASD) load combinations.
