NETAP Training: Older Concrete Buildings: Understanding the Seismic Risk and Making a Mitigation Plan (CA)
July 11, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeRegistration required. Many concrete buildings were constructed prior to the enactment of modern seismic provisions in building codes, and some of these non-ductile concrete buildings are prone to sudden collapse in earthquakes. One effective path to mitigating the seismic risk of non-ductile concrete buildings is to identify all older concrete buildings using a building inventory, determine which individual buildings are collapse-prone, and make a mitigation plan that prioritizes the most seismically hazardous buildings. In this free training, you will learn what non-ductile concrete buildings are, how they have performed in past earthquakes, and why addressing their risk is important to a community’s overall seismic resilience. You will also be guided through the process for making a mitigation plan to address hazardous non-ductile concrete buildings within a building inventory.
