Description

Special seismic detailing is routine for West Coast engineers, but for many engineers in the rest of the country, we spend our time designing structures in Seismic Design Category A and B. However, in some areas and conditions, the high Risk Category of buildings such as hospitals tip the structure into Seismic Design Category C. What does this mean for code requirements, special detailing, extra design time, material quantities, coordination with other design team members?

  • Diamond Review approved in all 50 states
