NETAP Training: Older Concrete Buildings: Understanding the Seismic Risk and Making a Mitigation Plan (CA)
2023-07-11 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
Registration 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.

NETAP Training: FEMA P-50 & P-50-1, Simplified Seismic Assessment and Retrofit Guidelines of Detached, Single-Family, Wood-Frame Dwellings
2023-08-10 13:00 - 17:00
Registration required. This web-based training addresses seismic assessment and retrofit of detached single-family wood-frame dwellings. The simplified assessment methodology uses a six-page form to assign each dwelling a structural score based on observed dwelling characteristics, a seismic hazard score based on dwelling location and site hazards, and a resulting Seismic Performance Grade between A and D-. The assessment goes on to identify assessed items that could be retrofit and the improved grade that could result with retrofit.

NETAP Training: Building Codes – Why They Matter
2023-08-23 10:00 - 12:00
Registration required. Building codes are regulations governing design, construction, alteration, and maintenance of structures. They are the foundation for community resilience. This free, web-based training will provide an overview of the building code pertaining to earthquake effects on buildings and underline the importance of code adoption and enforcement. This web-based training also highlights why this information is important to emergency managers, decision makers, and the general public.
