Guaranteed. A lot of Japan's infrastructure was specifically constructed with high intensity earthquakes in mind. A lot of the designs in the US are retrofits. Its one of the many reasons why they tore down the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle, as the cost of rehabilitating and seismically retrofitting the structure would have cost $Texas. California (for obvious reasons) has the most stringent dynamic earthquake load safety factors and design requirements in the country. e: Expanded slightly: Nationally, most building construction standards at the state and local levels defer to the https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2021P1 (IBC Construction Standards). In many localities and states there are more stringent requirements appended to the IBC by legislation. This is an order of magnitude different in California, which references the IBC in many areas but in some (specifically seismic design) are incredibly more stringent. You basically need an MS in Structural Engineering that focuses on Seismic Design to get a job as an entry level in CA. For Transportation projects (IE: Bridges, specifically those with federal funding, which are most anything over 2-5 million), ultimate oversight is provided by FHWA which regulates the design standards to be used. This ultimately leads to more standardization nationally. SquirrelyPSU fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jan 1, 2024 |

A.o.D. posted:Good for him. He has nothing left to prove at the college level. Hopefully he's not retiring because it's either that or die on the job. The only person to do it better was Spurrier. Saban has at least one Ferrari dealership and is a made man for the rest of his days. (e: Not better coach, just better at working the system)
