Founded in 1930, the Structural Engineers Association
of Northern California (SEAONC) is committed to the advancement
and incorporation of the state-of-the-art in structural engineering
standards and practices through applied research, continuing education,
and the promotion of professional relations among Civil, Structural,
and Geotechnical Engineers.
SEAONC endeavors to enhance the life safety,
environmental health, and economic well-being of the public served
by Structural Engineers through direct involvement in the development
of building codes, through community education and through liaison
and consultation with legislative and regulatory agencies that influence
the design and construction industry.
The majority of Association members
are licensed engineers regularly engaged in the practice
of structural engineering.
The success of SEAONC, in its efforts to serve
the public and the profession, stems chiefly from the volunteer
commitments of members working on committees, both technical and
non-technical, that form the basis of SEAONC operations. The majority
of Association members are licensed engineers regularly engaged
in the practice of structural engineering. The Association also
draws membership from related fields involved in design and construction,
including academe (professors and students), contractors, architects,
and representatives from industry and government.
Membership in SEAONC is encouraged for anyone interested in the
profession, seeking an opportunity to serve the public, share
knowledge or ideas, or otherwise help shape the practice of structural
engineering. All members of SEAONC are also members of SEAOC.
