The 2022 Seismic Provisions and Seismic Design Manual, 4th Edition; Honolulu, HI

Register

The AISC Seismic Provisions and the 4th Edition Seismic Design Manual are both available now! You won't want to miss this half day seminar where important changes and clarifications that have been incorporated into these documents will be explained.

The seminar will examine the Seismic Provisions including analysis, general design requirements, the treatment of special moment frames (SMF) and special concentrically braced frames (SCBF), and more. The seminar will review the philosophy of seismic design and the application of the provisions in the design of SMF and SCBF.
