- Abstract
- These proceedings contain papers presented at the 1976 Convention of the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) in Yosemite. Topics include the role of research in future engineering, the Sears Tower, concrete yesterday and today and ACI 318, improved seismic design, trends and requirements of concrete structures in the next 15 years, and the Guatamala Earthquake of February 1976. Also included are texts of a panel discussion on the present and future of engineering, SEAOC business meeting reports and a three part presentation, 'Rehabilitation,' which concerns seismic rehabilitation of the state capitol, VA hospitals, and a case study of medium scale seismic upgrading. A considerable number of photographs and charts accompany the reports.
