Description

Design Considerations for Resilient Buildings and Infrastructure 

Presented by: Chris Stone, PE, F.NSPE, F.ASCE, LEED AP - Senior Principal, Clark Nexsen

Thursday, September 17, 2020 | 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Facilitated via Zoom

This session will focus on ASCE's Manual of Practice 140, "Climate-Resilient Infrastructure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management". This manual guides the development of methods for infrastructure analysis and design in a world in which risk profiles and climates are changing and can be projected with varying degrees of uncertainty requiring new design techniques to meet this challenge.
