Seismic Instrumentation Requirements in Building Codes

Featuring Dr. Derek Skolnik, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Join us to learn about seismic instrumentation and building codes!

In this session, Dr. Derek Skolnik will clarify the many building code instrumentation requirements in California and Pacific Northwest. He will answer questions such as:

Why are there instrumentation requirements in some municipal building codes? Where do they come from? What exactly is required and when is it not? What role do structural design engineers play with respect to specifying seismic instrumentation? What are the various options, vendors, and technologies available? Where does the data go? And finally, who actually benefits from having instrumentation in buildings.

This informative webinar + Q&A will help engineers, and other stakeholders better understand the rules and regulations that form the foundation of earthquake instrumentation and monitoring.
