Hi again,
I'm a young engineer, with a couple of years in design experience. I live in a zone 0 seismic area. I want to relocate to a zone 3 or 4 area. What do you guys think it is important to know about seismic design?
How accurate (rigorous) should we be with site inspections of concrete structures? My question concerns, bar lengths, concrete cover, hairpin ties size, etc.
