2021 IBC Accessibility and Usability for Commercial and Residential (Online Live)
2024-03-18 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
This seminar focuses on the minimum requirements for new or existing construction of accessible residential facilities for compliance with the 2021 International Building Code® (IBC®) and ICC A117.1-2009 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. It addresses the design, plan review and inspection of residential buildings and facilities to ensure that people with physical impairments, visual impairments and hearing impairments can use the facilities. Attendees will participate in activities that involve questions and answers, discussion and case study, performing parts of individually and in groups.

Hand Calculations for the Design of Stud Rails
2024-03-20 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
The webinar will show the hand calculations for the design of stud rails to resist punching shear in compliance with the ACI code and the stud rails ESR/ICC report. Common mistakes will be discussed. Understanding the limits of stud rails and proper detailing will be shown.

Balcony Sprinklers in the Codes versus NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D (Online Live)
2024-03-20 12:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago)
Extending fire sprinkler systems to protect balconies of residential buildings can provide exposure protection, tradeoffs, and life safety. However, not all codes, such as the International Building Code and International Residential Code for residential buildings have the same requirements for balcony sprinklers. NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D differ on how balcony protection, if required, are applied to residential and other occupancy balconies. As more mixed-use buildings and mixed-sprinkler standards are being applied, this seminar looks across the model codes and installation standards to provide clarity to the subject. This seminar is important for the fire sprinkler industry, architectural community, and for code officials with the short history of balcony sprinklers, detailed discussion, and updates in the 2021 model codes as well as the 2022 NFPA sprinkler standards.

New Seismic Design Provisions for One-Story Structures with Flexible Diaphragms and Rigid Vertical Elements
2024-03-21 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
It has long been recognized that the seismic response of one-story tilt-up concrete wall buildings (and similar buildings with flexible diaphragms and rigid vertical elements) is controlled by the flexible diaphragm much more than the rigid vertical elements. Widely used seismic design provisions have not recognized or incorporated this behavior, however. Now, new seismic design provisions recently developed for ASCE 7-22 explicitly recognize this response behavior, drawing from extensive numerical studies published in the guideline document Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings: An Alternate Procedure (FEMA P-1026) and supplemental studies of bare steel deck diaphragms. In fact, the new design provisions go a step further to introduce a zone of reduced shear demand that improves seismic performance by allowing distributed yielding away from the diaphragm perimeter. This webinar will first present the concepts behind the new seismic design provisions, and the numerical studies addressed in FEMA P-1026 and supplemental bare steel deck diaphragm studies. A design example will then be presented, along with design and detailing tips and recommendations for practicing engineers.
