Professional association

Throughout its history SEAONC has assisted local, State and Federal agencies on a number of matters pertaining to Structural Engineering. As SEAONC evolved, its members and officers took an increasingly active role in legislative matters affecting the profession.

Since the 1940's members have maintained direct involvement in the development of building code provisions, especially those dealing in earthquake-resistant design, by reviewing, writing and updating the Uniform Building Code, the San Francisco and Los Angeles Building Codes and various industry-sponsored code recommendations.
