Implementation of ASCE 7-22 Nonstructural Seismic Requirements for Today's Complex Buildings
With the publication of ASCE 7-22 and its future adoption by IBC and state building codes, nonstructural seismic standard implementation is undergoing a dramatic change. Though the Chapter 13 requirements of the standard remain largely intact, the methodology to calculate nonstructural seismic force and displacement is much more dependent on information about the seismic behavior of the building in which they are housed. This leaves many unanswered questions for engineers who are newly familiarizing themselves with ASCE 7-22.
This seminar seeks to answer many of those questions. It reviews the current nonstructural seismic standards in ASCE 7-16 and IBC 2021 and discusses proposed implementation methods for the changes in ASCE 7-22 and future IBC editions. The presentation is useful to engineers and suppliers of components, supports, and attachments implementing and reviewing non-structural seismic designs.
Andy Coughlin, P.E., S.E. is the Technical Director of Critical Infrastructure at Structural Integrity Associates in Bend, Oregon focusing on the prevention of structural failures in the nuclear, healthcare, and defense industries. He also serves as lead Certification Decision Maker for TRU Compliance, an IAS accredited product certification agency within Structural Integrity that is a leader in seismic testing and certification across regulated jurisdictions like California HCAI (formerly OSHPD). Andy is licensed in seven states and holds bachelor's and master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Penn State University. He serves on multiple ASCE committees including the Committee on the Design and Analysis of Nuclear Structures (DANS) and ASCE 7 Task Committee 8 on Seismic Design Requirements for Nonstructural Components.
