WHY YOU & YOUR EMPLOYEES SHOULD ATTEND THIS SEMINAR
The “technical proposal” to revise Part C5 of the Engineering Assessment Guidelines was released during late 2018 for use during ‘non-earthquake-prone’ assessments of concrete buildings. This update was the result of more than 12 months of effort to introduce state-of-the-art knowledge to Part C5 based on international guidance and ongoing local research.
The revised guidance provides a simpler and more comprehensive means of assessing existing concrete buildings, which are prevalent amongst New Zealand’s building stock. The revised guidelines provide for assessment of elements and behaviour types not previously covered by Part C5, as well as improving the realism of provisions for assessing shear and deformation capacity. The revised guidance also incorporates a simplified method for assessing some diaphragms.
This seminar will present a thorough overview of the updated assessment guidelines, describe the background to key provisions of the revised guidance, and illustrate use of these provisions by application to example scenarios. Particular emphasis will be placed on illustrating how the guidelines account for behaviours observed in past earthquakes and laboratory testing.
