How to be a Leader by Practicing Active Listening (Learn Live)
2025-11-05 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Identifying potential and delivering projects. Active listening is essential in our collaboration, meetings, and solving disputes or conflicts. We listen to obtain information, understand, and share experiences and points of view. Active listening determines ways/suggested solutions to meet all stakeholders shared goals and provides a good teamwork environment. It also provides good data for critical thinking. Critical thinking includes analysis and evaluation of an issue to make a judgment. Also Identify potentials is critical; one of the essential tools is to allow brainstorming between all team members at all company levels to get general feedback and suggestions that could help modify or enhance some of the processes to improve the outcomes. All of the above provide the ability to be a great leader by making reasonable decisions, solve a problem, develop alternate solutions, and look for root causes of issues or conflicts.

Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering
2025-10-29 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
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.

2024 IBC Accessible Means of Egress (Online Live)
2025-10-22 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
The way someone enters and moves into a building is not always the same way they move to evacuate a building in an emergency. In addition to accessible entry, persons with disabilities must be considered when designing plans and building systems used for emergency evacuation. The accessible means of egress provisions from the International Building Code (IBC) are referenced 2010 ADA Accessibility Standard and will be required for all new construction. This program will introduce you to the concepts, details and application of exiting provisions, and assist in understanding how the codes and federal regulations are now working to harmonize the national response to designing a building not only for ingress, but for egress as well. Discussions will include operational safety plans, fire drills, notification/communication for occupants in a building during the emergency and physical building requirements.
