由ASCE结构工程研究所规范和标准活动部建筑标准委员会的结构设计荷载编制。施工期间的设计荷载必须考虑荷载的持续时间通常很短以及临时荷载的可变性。在施工期间，可能不存在提供强度、刚度、稳定性或连续性的完工结构的许多构件。ASCE/SEI 37-14《施工期间结构的设计荷载》描述了施工荷载、荷载组合以及影响建筑物和其他施工中结构的荷载系数的最低设计要求。它涉及部分完工的结构以及施工期间使用的临时支撑和通道结构。 规定的荷载适用于强度设计标准，如极限强度设计（USD）和荷载及阻力系数设计（LRFD），或许用应力设计（ASD）标准。荷载适用于所有常规施工方法。主题包括:荷载系数和荷载组合；恒载和活载；施工荷载；侧向土压力；以及环境负荷。特别值得注意的是，环境荷载规定与ASCE/SEI 7-10《建筑物和其他结构的最小设计荷载》一致。由于ASCE/SEI 7-10未涉及施工期间的荷载，因此本标准中的环境荷载在施工期间进行了调整。新版标准37规定了基于概率分析、施工实践观察和专家意见的荷载。 本标准包含自2002年版以来不断发展的意见、建议和经验，服务于结构工程师、建筑工程师、设计专业人员、规范官员和建筑业主。

Prepared by the Design Loads on Structures during Construction Standards Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCEDesign loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading and for the variability of temporary loads. Many elements of the completed structure that provide strength, stiffness, stability, or continuity may not be present during construction. Design Loads on Structures during Construction, ASCE/SEI 37-14, describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load combinations, and load factors affecting buildings and other structures that are under construction. It addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction. The loads specified are suitable for use either with strength design criteria, such as ultimate strength design (USD) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD), or with allowable stress design (ASD) criteria. The loads are applicable to all conventional construction methods.Topics include: load factors and load combinations; dead and live loads; construction loads; lateral earth pressure; and environmental loads. Of particular note, the environmental load provisions have been aligned with those of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10. Because ASCE/SEI 7-10 does not address loads during construction, the environmental loads in this standard were adjusted for the duration of the construction period.This new edition of Standard 37 prescribes loads based on probabilistic analysis, observation of construction practices, and expert opinions. Embracing comments, recommendations, and experiences that have evolved since the original 2002 edition, this standard serves structural engineers, construction engineers, design professionals, code officials, and building owners.
