Event Details

As a follow-up to our last DEVTalk, Building on Solid Ground: Seismic Design and Soil Management Solutions for our Evolving Regulatory Landscape, we are venturing into the world of structural design and the implications to both concrete and wood-frame structures. These new seismic provisions hit the Capital Region incredibly hard and will have dramatic effects on project viability. Knowing what these implications are and how to mitigate them could be the make-or-break for future projects.



What You'll Learn:


ยท Seismic Code Overview - How the new seismic code provisions impact our region

ยท New Code Requirements - What mitigation measures are now recommended to maintain project viability

ยท Concrete Design Mitigation โ€“ What could the seismic values mean for concrete structures and what can be done to limit these impacts

ยท Wood frame Design Mitigation โ€“ What could the seismic values mean for wood frame structures and what can be done to limit these impacts

ยท Ongoing Research โ€“ What research is ongoing to help with these seismic codes
