Description

Part 1 of the 3-part series will present resilience through the lens of a structural engineer, defining the role of the structural engineer in the process and introducing the terminology and concepts being discussed today by many technical committees. We will explore our Codes and Standards framework, and the philosophy and rationale beyond probabilities being used as the basis for performance expectations. Part 1 will feature an overview of three common design hazards (earthquake, tornado, wind), their current design philosophy, challenges and shortfalls of this philosophy in a resilience context, and ideas being discussed for upcoming Standards revisions.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Please note: This webinar is part of the Resilience Series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.
