January 2026 Webinar
SITE CHARACTERIZATION USING VS30 PER THE ASCE 7-22
Wednesday, January 14th, 2026
10:30am-12pm PST
Virtual Event
Starting January 1, 2026, the ASCE 7-22 standard will be effective all over the country. Among the new changes, site characterization will now be based solely on shear wave velocities, and not on shear undrained strengths or SPT N-values anymore. To provide guidance and clarification on how to make site characterization consistent with the new ASCE 7-22 standard, we are hosting a free webinar featuring Professor Jonathan Stewart and Professor Brady Cox. After presentations from the two speakers, we will have a 30-minute session for questions and answers.
