Application of Seismic Monitoring Systems for Post-Earthquake Building Safety Evaluations

Featuring Erik Bishop, Reid Middleton

Join as guest speaker Erik Bishop from Reid Middleton walks us through real-world events and case studies that describe how combining engineering and technology helps critical facilities achieve safe and effective earthquake response!

Lessons learned from past earthquakes have demonstrated that hospitals and other essential facilities are susceptible to dangerous, costly, and unnecessary evacuations. This is often due to the uncertainty in determining whether or not a structure is safe to occupy or needs to be evacuated immediately following an earthquake.

By combining advanced engineering, instrumentation technology, and disaster management software, Reid Middleton and Kinemetrics have collaborated to develop and deploy innovative post-earthquake response tools that empower on-site facility management personnel to rapidly make informed decisions on the post-earthquake condition of their buildings. This webinar will provide real-world case studies of how these tools can aid in post-earthquake safety assessments for hospitals and other essential facilities.

This informative webinar + Q&A will help engineers, building managers, and disaster preparedness professionals understand how to better protect buildings and people during an earthquake.

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.
