This inaugural Conference on Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures , organized by the Applied Technology Council (ATC) and the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers, is dedicated solely to improving the seismic performance of existing buildings and other structures.  The Conference program has been structured to provide a forum for the presentation, exchange, and documentation of new information on the seismic evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings, including case studies, new discoveries, innovative use of new technologies and materials, nonstructural component anchorage and bracing, implementation issues, needed improvements to existing standards and methods, and socio-economic issues.
