ASCE 7 & SEI Standards
SEI members are committed to developing high-quality, cutting-edge standards including structural loading, blast design, seismic retrofit, and many others. We are always eager to welcome new members to roll up their sleeves and get to work. If you have a passion for code and standards development, come join us!

Peer-to-Peer Standards Exchange Forum
Come join the discussion about ASCE Standards! The Peer-to-Peer Standards Exchange is a new ASCE Collaborate forum to discuss technical issues about ASCE standards. Dive into your technical area with questions and issues with your community. Members can ask and answer questions. Nonmembers will have view-only capability.
ASCE/SEI Standards
SEI supports our members in the development of 25 ASCE/SEI Standards, including coordination of all activities of ASCE related to the establishment, use, or discontinuance of standards in the area of buildings, non-building structures, and non-structural components. All meetings and conference calls are open to guests. Please contact Jennifer Goupil for information.
