Webinar - Designing to Minimize Restraint to Shortening Cracks in Post-Tensioned Structures
2025-07-22 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar
Two of the main financial benefits of post-tensioning is the reduction in slab thickness and rebar compared to non-prestressed slabs. The downside side of this reduction is post-tensioned structures can be more susceptible cracking, especially if their inherent movement is prevented or restrained. The webinar will cover the structural layout and details that are primarily used in the post-tensioned structures to minimize restraint to shortening (RTS) cracks. Typical post-tensioning slip details will be explained in conjunction with construction photographs to highlight good and poor construction practices.

Webinar - What Can Structural Engineers Do to Address the Problem of Floor Vibrations?
2025-07-31 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar
Instructor: Andrew W. Taylor, Ph.D., S.E., FACI
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:
1) Code Requirements: Does 2015 IBC Section 1604.3 help with floor vibrations?
2) Who uses ASCE 7-10 Appendix C (Serviceability Considerations)?
3) Structural vibration criteria
4) Equipment and methods used to make field measurements of structural vibrations, particularly floor vibrations
5) General approaches for vibration design (or evaluation) of floor systems, including practical limitations of some existing analytical methods

2025-08-06 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Recent advances, including substantial new research, have enabled reinforcing steels of higher strengths to be a viable option in a variety of applications in reinforced concrete structures. This webinar presents information related to the use of Grade 80 and Grade 100 steel reinforcement in the 2019 edition of ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. Numerous revisions have been made in ACI 318-19 to incorporate the use of high-strength reinforcement, and this webinar covers new and updated requirements for the following:

Types of nonprestressed reinforcing bars
Development and splice lengths
Structural members, including two-way slabs, beams, columns, walls, diaphragms, and foundations
Limits on concrete compressive strength
Strength reduction factors

Benefits related to the use of Grade 80 and Grade 100 reinforcing bars are also included.
