Description

Calculations, Flowcharts and Checklist
A simple multi-story building, located in a region of high seismic risk, will be presented with the procedures for defining seismic loads and associated criteria for the structure using ASCE 7 Seismic provisions. An introduction to the material standards, such as AISC 341 Seismic and ACI 318 Chapter 18 Seismic, will be presented. The non-structural components equations will be described and implemented. The resulting calculations will be formatted so that they may be utilized as a flowchart and checklist for future use when designing actual buildings.

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.
