About ATC
The Applied Technology Council (ATC) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation established in 1973 through the efforts of the Structural Engineers Association of California. ATC's mission is to develop and promote state-of-the-art, user-friendly engineering resources and applications for use in mitigating the effects of natural and other hazards on the built environment. ATC also identifies and encourages needed research and develops consensus opinions on structural engineering issues in a nonproprietary format.

Project Title: Update of Seismic Retrofitting Guidance
Client: Federal Emergency Management Agency
Purpose: To develop a new FEMA support document that would provide design examples for seismic retrofit of specific buildings using the new ASCE/SEI 41-13 consensus standard. This new document replaces FEMA 276 Example Applications document.
This project produced the FEMA P-2006 report, Example Application Guide for ASCE/SEI 41-13 Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings; with Additional Commentary for ASCE/SEI 41-17.
Project Title: Technical Assistance, Training and Product Development
Client: Federal Emergency Management Agency
Purpose: To develop and maintain educational courses on earthquake mitigation and related training materials, to deliver training courses/webinars on behalf of FEMA, and to participate in national conferences to share information about FEMA reports. This project also supports the development and update of FEMA technical and non-technical guidance products and management of the National Earthquake Technical Assistance Program (NETAP).
