Meeting/Event Information

Title: Structural Assessments: Repair vs Replace

Description: This session will provide a qualitative understanding of structural assessment
considerations for the determination of repairability of a building. Including the engineering
process used to evaluate the performance and condition of a structure, code consideration, and
economic considerations. The concepts will be illustrated through a number of case studies.
Attendees will Learn: How to evaluate whether a structure can be repaired or replaced with
new construction, and the engineering processes involved in making that determination.

Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to –
▪ Gain an understanding of structural assessment considerations for the determination of
the repairability of a building.
▪ Knowledge of the buildings codes to consider, economics and feasibility that influence
the repair vs replace decision.
