USRC Underwriting Sponsor

CSI Helps Fund USRC's Commitment To Promote Resilience Based Design

In 2015, Walnut based Computers and Structures signed on as one of USRC's Founding Members.

Early 2018, CSI took that commitment to an altogether new level by kicking off a successful campaign that matched new donations to the USRC dollar per dollar up to $100,000.

"It is with deep gratitude that the USRC has designated CSI an Underwriting Sponsor for their continued generous support since our founding."

Evan Reis, USRC Executive Director and Co-Founder

For more than 40 years, Computers and Structures, Inc. has been a leader in the development of software used worldwide by structural engineers. Ashraf Habibullah, CSI's founder and CEO, has also been a committed leader in promoting the value that the structural engineering profession brings in making our buildings safer and more resilient.

"Building a more resilient infrastructure is the key to our economic future. CSI is proud to partner with USRC to ensure that resiliency becomes the new gold standard of engineering."

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti

“The USRC Rating System is credible, consistent and transparent and would make a better foundation for critical decisions.”

Dr. Lucile Jones, Science Advisor to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
