ATC (Applied Technology Council)

The Applied Technology Council (ATC) is a nonprofit organization that develops practical tools, guidelines, and research to improve the safety and performance of structures like buildings and bridges, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Their work helps engineers and designers create resilient infrastructure by providing tested methods and standards. ATC collaborates with government agencies, industry experts, and researchers to ensure that construction practices meet high safety and quality standards, ultimately protecting communities from natural hazards and reducing the risk of damage and loss.
