Conference on improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures

This inaugural conference, organized by the Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), is dedicated solely to improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures. The program is being planned to provide a forum for the presentation and exchange of new information on the seismic evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, including case studies, new discoveries, innovative use of new technologies and materials, implementation issues, needed improvements to existing standards and methods, and socio-economic issues. The goal is to provide an invaluable opportunity to advance your understanding of the tools, techniques and innovations available to assist you in meeting the challenges of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation. For those new to the profession, the conference will also provide an opportunity to get up to speed on core issues.

Whether you're a practicing engineer, an architect, involved with research or teaching, make plans now to attend and participate in this premiere event. With 42 states having some degree of earthquake risk and 18 of those having areas of high or very high seismicity, meeting the needs of our clients by solving the challenges posed by existing structures is paramount to protecting the life, safety and welfare of the general public.
