NIST Standards Forum
2024-09-11 09:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | AL
NIST staff and stakeholders in the private sector and other federal agencies will learn how NIST is advancing standardization for critical and emerging technologies (CETs) through public-private partnerships, and ways their organizations and agencies can participate in this important activity. The Forum will feature NIST Director, Dr. Laurie Locascio, who will deliver the morning Keynote Address on the National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology and the NSSCET Implementation Roadmap which was launched at a White House event in late July. Gordon Gillerman, NIST Conformity Assessment Advisor, will deliver the afternoon Keynote Address on The Role of Conformity Assessment in CETs.

PART 4 - Seismic Design Provisions of ASCE 7-22
2024-09-12 11:00 - 13:30, 2024-10-02 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | AL
Part 4: Chapter 14 – 15: Seismic Design of Nonbuilding Structures and Material Specific Requirements
ASCE 7-22 is adopted by the 2024 IBC, which will be published later this year. The changes from ASCE 7-16 to ASCE 7-22 are so numerous and so substantive that learning about them needs to start now. The chapter on flood loads is the only chapter that has escaped any change. There are huge changes in snow load, ice load, and tsunami load provisions. There is a whole new chapter (32) on tornado loads. Risk Category III or IV structures located in the tornado-prone region shown in a figure are required to be designed and constructed to resist the greater of the tornado loads determined in accordance with Chapter 32 or the wind loads determined in accordance with Chapters 26 through 31. The changes in Chapters 11-23 on earthquake loads and Chapters 26-31 on wind loads are many and many of the seismic changes mark significant departures from past practice. ASCE 7-22 load combinations and importance factors are also quite different because of changes in the loads chapters.

Unique Aspect in Strength Design of Post-Tensioned Structures
2024-10-15 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | AL
The tension force in unbonded strands that is used in the Whitney Stress Block, is determined by multiplying the section area by the fps value. Two equations are used to calculate fps and are separated by the span to depth ratio. Unlike rebar only concrete which has a constant fy value, fps is constantly changing along each span and can often switch equations within the same design strip. These creates unique numerical situations that will look odd, challenging to explain and need to be better understood by the engineer to avoid confusion in the office and on the drawings. The role and rationale behind compression reinforcement in flexural strength will also be addressed.

Design of Cold-Formed Steel Exterior Wall Connections
2024-11-07 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | AL
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 close attention to this system as it is a significant factor in repair costs and recovery times after seismic and wind events, yet it is often not given the attention it deserves. This web seminar will discuss the following key design issues (and what’s often missed) for exterior cold-formed steel framing, including:
-Application of Loads
-Building Movements
-Complete Load Path
-Engineered and Proprietary Connections to the Base Structure (Including Drift Clips)
Over one-third of the presentation will be on detailed examples that will illustrate these concepts as well as common mistakes.

The Limited Reality of Service Stresses in Design of Post-Tensioned Concrete
2024-11-13 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | AL
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 design, so what not post-tensioned concrete? The webinar will explain the limited reality and “incompleteness” of the service stress model using equivalent loads and why the service reactions, shears and moments are invalid for Ultimate Strength design. The myth of how equivalent loads makes buildings lighter will also be explained.
