Free FEMA P-749 Webinar Part B: The Seismic Design Process for New Buildings

The Applied Technology Council (ATC) is pleased to announce a two-part webinar series to celebrate the release of a new edition of FEMA P-749, Earthquake-Resistant Design Concepts: An Introduction to Seismic Provisions for New Buildings, which has been updated to the latest standards and expanded to cover a wider range of topics. FEMA P-749 provides an overview of earthquake-resistant design concepts and their context within the seismic requirements of U.S. building codes. Both the webinar series and report are presented in two parts. Part A, for a general audience, is a high-level, approachable explanation of the basis and intent of U.S. seismic provisions; Part B is written for an engineering audience and provides a walkthrough of the seismic design process for new buildings.

Part B: This webinar will explain how to apply the seismic design process in the design of new buildings. Presented guidance is based on the 2022 edition of ASCE/SEI 7 Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures.
