URM Seismic Resilience Symposium

  • 1.  URM Seismic Resilience Symposium

    Posted 03-27-2019 08:39 PM

    Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings present a challenge for earthquake-prone communities. There are over 1,650 URM buildings in Portland and millions around the world. These structures are important historic, architectural, cultural, and economic landmarks, but their vulnerability to earthquakes imperils these buildings and the people in them.

    The URM Seismic Resilience Symposium, July 18-20, 2019, is a three-day event for architects, engineers, owners, property managers, and anyone that might deal with URM buildings. AIA HSW and Engineering continuing education credits will be available.

    The speakers have been finalized and draw on international, national, and local experts. Please consider submitting projects for awards that will be selected by jury. Information can be found at http://aia-oregon.org/urm
