由ASCE结构工程研究所规范和标准活动部规范和标准委员会建筑用钢缆结构应用标准ASCE/SEI 19-16编制，规定了结构设计、制造和安装的要求，以及安装电缆，用作支撑建筑物和其他电缆支撑结构的静态结构元件。本标准涵盖碳钢和不锈钢电缆，涉及屋顶、地板、幕墙、桅杆和网络，但不适用于主要承受车辆荷载的结构或拉线式输电塔。 主题包括合同文件和施工图；设计考虑；电缆材料；防护涂层；制造、运输和接收；直立；以及施工后的考虑和检查。此外，附录审查了电缆和配件、鞍座、夹具、电缆疲劳，以及建筑物非结构构件的抗地震荷载摇摆支撑的设计。ASCE/SEI 19-16标准旨在供结构工程师、建筑师、电缆制造商和制造商以及建筑官员使用，是对ASCE 19之前版本的彻底修订。 它包括一个新的附录，以解决用于非结构建筑构件抗震支撑的小直径电缆，以及更新的术语，以确保与其他行业标准的一致性。

Prepared by the Structural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings Standard Committee of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCEStructural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings, Standard ASCE/SEI 19-16, provides requirements for the structural design, fabrication, and installation of cables for use as static structural elements to support and brace buildings and other cable-supported structures. Covering both carbon-steel and stainless-steel cables, this standard addresses roofs, floors, curtain walls, masts, and nets, but it is not applicable for structures subjected primarily to vehicle loads or for guyed electrical transmission towers.Topics include contract documents and shop drawings; design considerations; cable materials; protective coatings; fabrication, shipping, and receiving; erection; and postconstruction considerations and inspection. In addition, appendixes review cables and fittings, saddles, clamps, cable fatigue, and the design of earthquake-load-resistant sway bracing for nonstructural components of buildings.Intended for use by structural engineers, architects, cable manufacturers and fabricators, and building officials, Standard ASCE/SEI 19-16 is a thorough revision of previous editions of ASCE 19. It includes a new appendix to address small-diameter cables used for seismic bracing of nonstructural building elements, as well as updated nomenclature to ensure consistency with other industry standards.
