SUMMARY:2022 Changes to AISC 341 and 360
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 editions of AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-22) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 341-22) represent the latest in structural steel design and construction. This presentation will cover the latest updates\, including the exciting addition of concrete-filled coupled composite plate shear walls to both standards. Other major additions to the Specification include clarification on what to include in structural design documents; a new appendix on filled high-strength composite members; and a major expansion of the appendix on structural design for fire conditions. The Seismic Provisions now include an appendix on nonlinear response history analysis. These and many more developments will be discussed to orient users on how to start incorporating these latest standards into their practice. \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:Shear Friction Dowel Design for Concrete Diaphragms
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will focus on the misconception of the design of the slab to shear wall connection\, specifically how the joint rebar is required to transfer all the diaphragm force at the level in question and the shear from the upper floors. It will address the shear friction connection from the shear wall to the foundation. Most engineers we review do not add rebar at the construction joint and use the vertical wall rebar for shear transfer (by default) and flexural resistance\, which occur at the same time. They rarely perform the required design or acknowledge the two simultaneous forces. The webinar will also discuss that a “dowel” must cross the construction joint. Rebar in the slab\, that does not cross between the wall and slab does not provide shear friction. This is a common detailing mistake. \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:Effective Design of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames
DESCRIPTION:Buckling restrained braced frames are a valuable tool in providing good seismic performance. The system has gained popularity in many applications\, including in areas of moderate and even low seismicity\, due to the highly controlled and predictable behavior\, and the correspondingly straight-forward design methods required for the system. This presentation will cover the behavior of the system\, the design requirements\, considerations for effective design (including coordination with brace manufacturers)\, and innovative applications. \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:Part 2 – Fundamentals of Retaining Wall Structural Design
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 will focus on cast-in-place concrete cantilevered wall design\, and will go into greater detail than Part 1. It will go through examples of design calculations\, step-by-step\, for both IBC and AASHTO methodologies. The examples will discuss the different assumptions and design criteria that can be used in retaining wall design\, and how those different assumptions and criteria can impact the final design. It will also address design elements such as fall protection\, vehicle barriers\, soil backfill specifications and wall drainage. \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) in United States has had humble beginnings but has made huge strides over the past couple of decades. A majority of tall buildings in western United States are currently being designed using PBEE principles rather than prescriptive code procedures. Successful further development of PBEE requires close collaboration between researchers and practicing engineers. Currently PBEE is undergoing a very important transition from its first generation of methodologies to a new and fully probabilistic approach. For such a transition to be successful a number of research needs and practical requirements must be addressed in a timely and cooperative manner. These needs vary from meaningful definition of desired performance objectives\, consequences of not meeting these objectives\, dependable characterization of system and component level fragility specifications\, meaningful representation of earthquake ground motions\, improved understanding of the performance of structure and its contents\, soil-foundation-structure interaction\, and bridging the gap between and advancing both experimental research and our analytical capabilities. This presentation will briefly discuss these issues and provide examples of problems and solutions that the speaker has encountered in dealing with these needs. The provisions of the newly released LATBSDC Guidelines (scheduled for release on May 15\, 2020) will be also discussed.  \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT

SUMMARY:What Can Structural Engineers Do to Address the Problem of Floor Vibrations?
DESCRIPTION:Floor vibrations are becoming an increasingly important design challenge as more buildings are constructed (or remodeled) to contain vibration-sensitive occupancies. Some examples are fitness gyms\, dance floors\, biotech research facilities\, micro- and nano-scale manufacturing facilities\, medical occupancies (such as MRI\, CAT scan\, and micro-surgery suites)\, and data centers. In addition\, building owners and tenants have developed a heightened awareness of\, and lower tolerance for\, floor vibrations that can be felt by humans. Thus\, as structural engineers\, we are now frequently called upon to design\, or renovate\, buildings to meet specific floor vibration criteria. This presentation provides an overview of what is common practice for limiting floor vibrations. The following topics will be addressed during the web seminar: \nCode Requirements: Does 2015 IBC Section 1604.3 help with floor vibrations?\nWho uses ASCE 7-10 Appendix C (Serviceability Considerations)?\nStructural vibration criteria\nEquipment and methods used to make field measurements of structural vibrations\, particularly floor vibrations\nGeneral approaches for vibration design (or evaluation) of floor systems\, including practical limitations of some existing analytical methods \nRegister here.  \n11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Principles and Procedures Behind ASCE 41
DESCRIPTION:The Standard for seismic retrofit and evaluation of existing buildings\, ASCE/SEI 41\, is required for the evaluation of all federal buildings as well as seismically vulnerable buildings targeted by some recently passed California ordinances. Although the Standard appears foreign to some design professionals used to the prescriptive force-based procedures developed for new building design\, ASCE 41 provides clarification for many questions a design professional is confronted with in evaluating existing non-ductile buildings. This presentation highlights important issues with existing building evaluation not appropriately addressed by new building code. It then steps through the principles of using the ASCE 41 procedures and provides context for the various analysis sections. \n11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT \nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:A Structural Engineer's Primer for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is the conceptual framework upon which ground motion intensity (i.e.\, spectral acceleration) is estimated for use in design throughout the United States. It is also used in site specific determination of ground motion for special projects or projects with poor site conditions. Determination of ground motion parameters is the realm of geotechnical engineers\, however\, structural engineers should have a working understanding of the underpinnings of PSHA to properly interpret both the design ground motion parameters and their structural analysis results. This seminar will provide a background in PSHA designed for structural engineers to develop an understanding of where critical design ground parameters are derived from. \n12:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. PT \nLearn more and register here.
