Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Updates in the ASCE 41-17 Tier 1 evaluation procedures.Characterization of buildings into common building types.The standard defines a methodology that can be applied to buildings in all seismic zones, with varying requirements depending on the level of seismicity. Also covered are the requirements for level of seismicity and the building's performance level. This webinar describes the Tier 1 seismic screening phase of the ASCE 41-17 standard on seismic evaluation of existing buildings. ASCE 41-17 is the latest update to the seismic evaluation procedures previously prescribed in ASCE 31-03 and provides a three-tier methodology for evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings.
To assess a building's seismic vulnerability, local jurisdictions or building owners may require an engineer to perform an assessment of the building to identify need for seismic strengthening. View Important Policies and System Requirements for this course
