Webinar Summary
Advanced nonlinear analysis of structures, as allowed by building codes such as IBC and ASCE 7, can reduce the amount of seismic retrofit required compared to traditional linear analysis methods. Nonlinear analysis is computationally intense compared to linear analysis, but it provides a more realistic presentation of building response in an earthquake. Fiber wrap is a high tensile capacity material that is becoming more popular nowadays and can be used in seismic retrofit projects to replace or to be used along with conventional structural material including concrete, steel and masonry. This webinar presents an introduction to performance based design using nonlinear analysis of structures and an overview of fiber wrap material. The practical application of these new analytical and material tools are presented through a successfully completed seismic retrofit hospital project in State of California, with brief discussion of governing regulations and standards.
