Structured Connections - Orange County

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Our codes and standards continue to improve with enhancements that directly impact structural engineering practice in Southern California. With projected significant demand for the evaluation and retrofit of concrete structures throughout California, it is more important than ever that you and your team know what is coming next. For the 2/21 Structured Connections to be hosted by Degenkolb Engineers in their new Orange County Office, hear an executive summary of what is coming next in ACI 369 and ACI 374, and relevant concrete sections in ASCE 41-23. Also hear about the opportunity to shape the future editions of these standards including through collaboration with the Japanese Concrete Institute (JCI). SEAOSC EBC members recently met with representatives from JCI to share seismic retrofit case studies.
