Description

Part 2 of the 3-part series will recap the key messages of Part 1 as they relate to the structural engineer’s role in resilience. We will explore resilience as considered for three additional design hazards (tsunami, flood, wildfire), their current design philosophy, challenges and shortfalls of this philosophy in a resilience context, and ideas being discussed for upcoming Standards revisions. Part 2 will close with a discussion of current research and studies with a focus on design standards, performance reliability, and infrastructure design goals applied to a community resilience framework.

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.
