Code Council, SEAOSC Offer Structural Engineering Webinars

The International Code Council (ICC) and the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) have collaborated to bring a series of timely, discipline-specific educational webinars on Structural Engineering and code-related topics to the ICC Campus Online. The initial offering includes six webinars:

• Code Application of Slender Wall and Wall Pier Design
• External Post-Tensioning of Glue-Laminated Beams
• How Codes Change the Way We Construct Masonry
• Christchurch Earthquake 2011 – A Study of Post-disaster Response
• Overview & Application 2010 California Building Code (CBC)
• Sustainable Case Studies

Webinar descriptions, pricing, and registration information can be found on ICC’s Campus Online (www.iccsafe.org/SEAOSCwebinars). The webinars are available 24/7 to ICC Members and non-members. Additional webinars, created from live SEAOSC online events, will be added on a regular basis going forward.

“The webinars provide top quality training for structural engineers and anyone interested in the technical details of structural engineering,” said David Dufresne, ICC Executive Director of Education and Certification. “From sustainability to tilt-up construction, and post-earthquake response to post-tensioning, these technical webinars address a variety of essential topics that are of interest to structural engineers and all design, construction and building professionals.”

“We, here at SEAOSC, are very excited to partner with ICC to make these webinars available 24/7. The content of the webinars is sure to help structural engineers gain the knowledge they seek to improve their building designs,” said Don Gilbert, Executive Director of SEAOSC.

The new webinars add to the role ICC plays to serve its Members and the industry by providing expert training and certification in a wide variety of disciplines. More information on ICC Membership can be found here.

The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) is a professional organization of Civil and Structural Engineers which also includes affiliated construction industry members and students. The association provides its members with the forum, the educational opportunities and the challenge to meet high standards of engineering excellence, and ethical and professional conduct in the design of structures and facilities within the broader field of civil engineering.

The International Code Council is a member-focused association dedicated to helping the building safety community and construction industry provide safe and sustainable construction through the development of codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process. Most U.S. communities and many global markets choose the International Codes.
