Steel Solutions for Low Seismicity Applications [N25]

A great deal of North America falls outside of regions of moderate to high seismicity and yet building codes still require that earthquake loads and effects are considered since design forces are influenced by the building period, by geometric irregularities and by poor soil conditions. This session will look at both the U.S. and Canadian codes and approaches to designing steel-framed building structures in regions of low seismicity.
