ATC-SEI Proceedings: 2009 Conference on Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures

The Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), organized this Conference which was dedicated solely to improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures. The program provided a forum for the presentation and exchange of new information on the seismic evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, including case studies, new discoveries, innovative use of new technologies and materials, implementation issues, needed improvements to existing standards and methods, and socio-economic issues. The Conference provided an invaluable opportunity to advance the understanding of the tools, techniques and innovations available to assist in meeting the challenges of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation. For those new to the profession, the Conference also provided an opportunity to get up to speed on core issues.

The Conference Proceedings contain an indexed pdf version of all papers and poster presentations given at the Conference.
