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, […]

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 […]
