This session will

    Deep dive into the seismic design requirements of all things non-structural:

    • Requirements for building services and architectural elements.
    • Exemptions – don’t get this wrong, it’s costly.
    • Serviceability & Ultimate limit states
    • Documentation – and the lack of industry knowledge.
    • Shortfalls, lawsuits, and defects.
    • Post-disaster function (IL4)
    • Existing buildings
