Learn about the Changes in 2015 NEHRP Provisions, ASCE/SEI 7-16
Nov 10, 2017 -- The popular series of 2017 webinars presented by the National Institute of Building Sciences Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) is now available online. These courses cover some of the latest changes on seismic design and analysis. The courses highlight the 2015 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Recommended Seismic Provisions for Buildings and Other Structures, which was adopted by American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) ASCE/SEI-7-16 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
The topics include:
- Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using the 2015 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions, presented by Peter Somers
- Seismic Design of Precast Concrete Structures, presented by S.K. Ghosh
- Design of Seismic Force-Resisting Systems in Steel-Framed Buildings, presented by Rafael Sabelli
- Seismic Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures, presented by Robert Pekelnicky
- Design of Seismic Force-Resisting Systems in Wood Light-Frame Buildings, presented by Kelly Cobeen
- Seismic Design of Masonry with the 2015 NEHRP Provisions, presented by David Sommer
- New Site-Specific Ground Motion Requirements of ASCE 7-16, presented by Charles Kircher
The BSSC hosted the series of seven live webinars earlier this year, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Many building industry professionals were unable to attend, so the Institute has made the courses available online for a nominal fee. Now professionals can take these well-attended, highly touted continuing education courses at their own convenience.

About the NEHRP Recommended Provisions Under the sponsorship of FEMA, BSSC administers an ongoing consensus-based process of updating and maintaining the NEHRP Recommended Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures. The NEHRP Recommended Provisions and its Commentary and resource papers embody the state-of-knowledge criteria for design and construction of new buildings subject to earthquake hazards. The new knowledge and technologies contained in this resource document are diffused into the model building codes developed by the International Code Council (ICC) and several national standards, including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) ASCE/SEI-7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
