Sponsored by ASCE Continuing Education and ASCE’s Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)
Purpose and Background
Nonbuilding structures and their associated mechanical and electrical nonstructural components are used extensively in industrial facilities all over the world. Many of these industrial facilities are located in areas of high seismicity. Chapter 15 of ASCE 7-10 contains extensive requirements for the seismic design of nonbuilding structures. Additionally, nonbuilding structures in industrial facilities often house mechanical and electrical nonstructural components. Chapter 13 of ASCE 7-10 contains extensive requirements for the seismic design and anchorage of nonstructural components. Knowledge of the requirements and application of ASCE 7-10’s Chapter 15 and Chapter 13 is essential for any structural engineer involved in the design of industrial structures and facilities.
Primary Discussion Topics
The speaker will discuss:
- The determination of the basic seismic parameters for nonbuilding structures and nonstructural components
- The determination of seismic forces on nonbuilding structures supported by other structures
- The determination of seismic forces on common nonstructural components attached to nonbuilding structures
- The interrelation and overlap between Chapter 15 and Chapter 13 of ASCE 7-10
- Special considerations for the seismic design of tanks and vessels
- Examples of determining seismic forces on various nonbuilding structures and nonstructural components commonly found in industrial facilities

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs and Receive Your Certificate of Completion
To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short on-line post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 1 year of purchasing the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
