    The 2021 Virginia Construction Codes took effect on January 18, 2024. Refer to https://www.dhcd.virginia.gov/codes for additional information.

    One important note for structural engineers: the 2021 VCC references ASCE 7-22. This update was made primarily to incorporate the tornado design provisions which have been introduced in 7-22.

    The codes hosted online by ICC currently do not reflect this change. Virginia is working with ICC to get this updated. The official state regulations are found at the Department of Housing and Community Development: https://www.dhcd.virginia.gov/building-and-fire-regulations-archives

    DHCD is also working to identify any other updates needed for 2021 VCC to correlate to 7-22.

    Welcome to the new online home for SEAVa!

    As you’ve likely seen, membership renewal is now open for 2024. We greatly appreciate those engineers that have already renewed and appreciate your continued involvement and support.

    2023 was a year of great change for the organization, as we separated from our long-time administrator, ACEC-Virginia. SEAVa is now a stand-alone entity committed to serving structural engineers in Virginia. We remain the Virginia Member Organization for NCSEA and share its mission of supporting structural engineers as professionals and leaders in their communities.

    The SEAVa Board is committed to providing our members with educational opportunities, networking events, and other professional and career development. To be successful, we need the involvement and engagement of our members. Please contact us to volunteer, with event suggestions, or other questions about SEAVa.

    Stay tuned for information on upcoming events, including Demo Day ’24, where you can meet product representatives, learn about new industry developments, and even get your hands dirty with patching mortar or a power tool! Let us know if there’s something special you’d like to see.

    Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you at an event this year!
