The Future of Building Code: Going from Life Safety to Functional Recovery
Synopsis: A building can protect everyone during an earthquake and still be unusable afterward. Functional recovery asks whether buildings, their systems, and supporting infrastructure can return to their intended function within an acceptable period following a disaster. This presentation will explore Washington State’s study of functional recovery building code standards and the potential shift from traditional life-safety objectives toward designing for recovery and community resilience.
