Purpose and Background
In an attempt to help educate building officials across the US, SEI proposes a Hazard Tool Webinar that includes a general briefing on the purpose and uses of the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool with updated ASCE 7-22 data and an additional overview that ties in seismic and flood hazards. The goal is to promote the tool to this important segment of professionals who work closely with structural engineers.
The ASCE 7 Hazard Tool is a web-based application that is easy to navigate and provides a quick way to look up eight environmental hazards for a specific location including wind, tornado, rain, flood, snow, ice, seismic, and tsunami. Generate a summary and PDF report of the data that can be used in engineering proposals. The Hazard Tool includes data from the new Standard ASCE 7-22 and is free to the public.
