Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas. This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.
Description
On June 24, 2021, tragedy struck the structural engineering community as the Champlain Towers South condominium partially collapsed in Surfside, Florida. From the rubble of this collapse sparked a strong resurgence in the demand for building condition assessments and repairs. Most notably, the 40-year recertification process has come to the forefront of the building diagnostics industry, and the frequency and detail of these assessments have been the subject of much debate. Understanding the interdependence between the building enclosure and the structural system is paramount to the efficacy of the recertification process. Industry-proven strategies should be employed during the assessment and repair phases. Conversely, the longevity of the building enclosure starts with design. Best practices for selecting and designing the appropriate enclosure system should be implemented to avoid premature distress. The collapse triggered changes in inspection requirements at county and state levels. Understanding these changes will help building owners plan for current and future repair and maintenance costs. These changes will no doubt necessitate more frequent assessments. Advancements in assessment technology, including drone surveys and robotic systems capable of automating visual reviews, will aid in the increased demand and will help engineers maintain an efficient process while mitigating risk in aged buildings.
