Seismic Monitoring and Building Code Compliance with the iCOBI 3 System

Featuring Narek Abrahamian, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Seismic monitoring systems provide valuable data and information on the behavior of buildings leading to improved understanding and better design codes.

In this session, Narek Abrahamian will discuss the reasons many municipalities (e.g. City of Los Angeles, CA USA) require seismic instrumentation or offer benefits such as reduced inspection time as part of a building occupancy resumption program (e.g. BORP San Francisco, CA USA). He will share how the iCOBI 3 system fulfills these needs and more.

This informative webinar + Q&A will provide engineers, building managers, and emergency management professionals detailed information on how best to approach seismic building code compliance.

The Abu Dhabi Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis (ADSHRA)

Featuring Dr. Mohamed El Idrissi, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Join us to for a walk-through of the Abu Dhabi Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis (ADSHRA)!

In this session, Mohamed El Idrissi, Director of Kinemetrics S.A. Switzerland will guide us through the details of this challenging and unique project.

The program was conceptualized to build an integrated system to assist regulators in formulating development policies and criteria to secure the population, present and future urban development, vital facilities and the infrastructure of the Abu Dhabi Emirate against potential adverse seismic impacts.

To achieve this strategic objective ADSHRA: (a) Developed specialized seismic monitoring systems; (b) Assessed the seismic risk of the Abu Dhabi Emirate and assured early disaster warning; (c) Established GIS shielded databases; and, (d) Ensured that all segments were interlinked in an integrated system.

This informative webinar + Q&A will help engineers, operators, and regulators understand the lessons learned from this important project.
