HORIZONTV FEATURING BD+C: WATCH EPISODES ON DEMAND AT HORIZONTV
Seismic compliance with the applicable California building codes is onerous and disruptive for building owners, especially for a building in the heavily regulated sector of healthcare. Owners of older buildings that house acute care services have a big deadline on the horizon—Jan. 1, 2030, the cutoff date to upgrade their buildings to SPC-4D.
Faster delivery of buildings isn’t always associated with sustainability benefits or long-term value, but things are changing. An instructive case is in the development of steel structures that not only allow speedier erection times, but also can reduce embodied carbon and create durable, highly resilient building approaches.
Data center construction projects face record-breaking inflation amid delays to materials deliveries and competition for skilled labor, according to research from global professional services company Turner & Townsend.
Here are seven key areas where innovation in structural engineering is driving evolution.

Vancouver, Canada’s third largest metropolitan area, has the country’s highest seismic risk.
Getting a project through plan review can be an unusually long process, anywhere from six months to two years.
Significant risk increases seen in some areas of the U.S.
Double-V hangers and irregularly spaced gaps allow the structure to bend.
For employees, certain design strategies can lessen stress, improve health, and promote a greater sense of community connectivity, writes Perkins+Will project manager Jon Penndorf.
Expected to improve consistency of risk evaluation on commercial real estate transactions.
