Design of Cold-Formed Steel Exterior Wall Connections
Exterior cold-formed steel framing is a common system used for the “skin” of a building and is a crucial component of a building’s exterior. Structural engineers need to pay particularly...
-
The Limited Reality of Service Stresses in Design of Post-Tensioned Concrete
Why can’t engineers simply increase the service moment used for stress analysis by a load factor and use that for Ultimate Strength design? This approach would be valid for steel...

A Structural Engineer`s Primer for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
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...
-
IBC Statement of Special Inspections
The International Building Code requires that the design professional in charge create a Statement of Special Inspections (SSI) for each project. This seminar will discuss each component of the SSI,...
-
Intrinsically Safe Structural Fire Safety Design
Traditionally, structural fire safety is contemplated after the structural engineering is complete for a given building. Specifically, structural systems that have been optimized for ambient design loads are then blanketed...

Typical Repair Methods of Post-Tensioning Strands
There is a myth that if a post-tensioning strand is broken, it has the potential to fly out of the building, create havoc and destruction as it soars over state...
