SEAOC Seismic Design ManualConcrete wall examples

Joe Maffei and Karl Telleen authored design examples of concrete walls, including a cantilever wall and a wall with coupling beams, published in the SEAOC Structural/Seismic Design Manuals. The most recent edition of the examples is based on the 2012 International Building Code and referenced standards. The examples follow the provisions of the building code and also discuss recommendations for design and detailing based on research and examples from past earthquakes. Joe and Karl have presented seminars on the SEAOC manuals throughout California and in Oregon.
