SESSION 5 DETAILS

April 21 | On the Fire Line: Structures Pushed to the Extreme in the Wildland-Urban Interface

Presented by: Jon Glassman, Ph.D., PE, CRE, CSQE

1 hour | 1 PDH

12:00 — 1:00 p.m. CT

Tradition and evolving hazards collide at the wildland-urban interface development, where civil engineers are forced to confront fire scenarios that challenge conventional design assumptions for both buildings and bridges. Taking an on-the-fire-line perspective, this webinar will offer practical insights that, when merged with current research, can guide resilient design of structures in an increasingly volatile fire environment.
