Kelly Cobeen, S.E.

This webinar will dive into the seismic provisions of the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), focusing on simplified yet crucial requirements for ensuring structural safety in one- and two-family dwellings. Participants will explore key topics such as Seismic Design Categories (SDCs) for residential buildings, foundation anchorage, and shear walls, along with the proper detailing of roof diaphragms and structural connections. Special attention will be given to the seismic requirements for high-risk zones (Categories D0, D1, and D2). Join us to gain practical insights on how the 2024 IRC provisions help mitigate earthquake damage and build more resilient residential structures.
