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.
