Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infill walls are commonly found in seismically active regions. Past earthquakes have shown the vulnerability of this type of structures even under moderate ground...
The TMS 402, Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures, has two design methods: allowable stress design (ASD) and strength design (SD). This presentation will compare the differences, advantages, and disadvantages...
A minority of university engineering programs teaches structural wood design on a regular basis, yet wood is one of the most common building materials in the United States. This seminar...
Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious material that has minimum 18 ksi compressive strength and significantly more tensile strength (more than 1 ksi) tensile strength, as compared to conventional...
Efficient concrete building design requires an in-depth understanding of how different elements of the structure interact to create an efficient system that is constructible. System behavior is seldom taught and...
The webinar will focus on the design of post-tensioned structural slabs that support multi levels of conventional wood or metal stud framed buildings. Modeling the weight of the wood/metal building...
