SUMMARY:SEABC Annual Dinner and Pinnacle Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:The President and Board of Directors of the Structural Engineers Association of British Columbia invite members and guests to the 2025 Annual Dinner and Pinnacle Lecture. \nOur keynote speaker is Ian Firth. His talk is entitled “The long and the short of it – designing bridges for tomorrow’s world“. \nTalk Description: \nWe live in a rapidly changing world\, and some of what might once have been acceptable and even celebrated is now frowned upon. In particular\, the climate and biodiversity emergency has thrown up issues that previously were either unknown or just ignored. \nIan Firth has over 40 years’ experience in bridge design and engineering for some of the world’s longest and shortest spans. He will discuss how some of these might have changed if they were built today\, and review examples of what might be the way forward in meeting the future challenges for tomorrow’s engineers. In his words: “I see bridges as much more than just a means to cross an obstacle. They are in many ways the purest form of architecture and deserve the best of our creative skills. Structural engineering is about making our buildings\, bridges and structures safe\, durable and sustainable\, but we must also make them beautiful when\, like bridges\, they will be seen and enjoyed by so many for so long.”

SUMMARY:Post-Earthquake Investigations: Coordination\, Collaboration\, and Participation in NEHRP Activations
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the U.S. Geological Survey published USGS Circular 1542\, an updated Plan to Coordinate Post-Earthquake Investigations Supported by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). The Plan describes the activation and coordination of multi-disciplinary post-earthquake investigations by NEHRP Agencies and identifies opportunities for collaboration with other entities and individuals following impactful domestic and international earthquakes. These coordinated investigations\, focused on collaborative data gathering and leveraging new technologies\, can capture critical information needed to understand the causes and impacts of events and lead to lessons that can substantially improve the nation’s resilience to future earthquakes. \nNEHRP is the federal government’s coordinated nationwide program to reduce risks to life and property from earthquakes. USGS Circular 1542 presents a plan for coordination of post-earthquake investigations among the four NEHRP Agencies (FEMA\, NIST\, NSF and USGS) and with other entities\, including: other federal agencies; state\, regional\, local\, Tribal\, and territorial agencies; domestic non-governmental organizations; academic institutions and affiliated organizations; private companies; and foreign and international agencies and organizations. \nThis webinar will present an overview of USGS Circular 1542\, share examples of how the plan has been used in recent earthquakes\, and discuss how other agencies and entities can collaborate and participate in NEHRP post-earthquake investigations. The webinar will also review the current landscape for Technical Clearinghouses\, including recent examples operated by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). Applied Technology Council (ATC) managed the development of USGS Circular 1542 under contract with the U.S. Geological Survey.
