Tilt-Up Wall Design Provisions: Proper Application
2026-03-31 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
With over a half a billion square feet of space constructed annually, tilt-up concrete construction is a common building type in engineering offices across the nation. This economical style of construction is uniquely identified by the very slender concrete walls cast horizontally and tilted into place. This web-seminar presentation revisits the historical development of the original slender wall design recommendations in the late 1970s, and how the current slender wall design provisions in ACI match with concepts developed over 30 years ago. While these original concepts were based on empirical data from full-scale tests conducted in the early 1980s, only within the last ten years have we really begun to fully understand the behavior of these thin concrete members when subjected to combined axial load and large horizontal forces. The intent of the current code provisions will be discussed, some insight into their proper application will be provided, and examples of misapplications and gray-areas will be highlighted.

Introduction to OpenSees for Structural-Engineering Professionals
2026-03-19 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
OpenSees for Structural-Engineering Professionals is a two-hour, practice-oriented introduction to nonlinear structural analysis using the OpenSees framework. Participants will learn how modern finite-element modeling concepts—materials, sections, geometric transformations, and beam-column formulations—translate directly into OpenSees’ scripting workflow. Through examples drawn from reinforced-concrete and steel systems, the webinar shows how axial–moment interaction, plastic-hinge formation, distributed plasticity, and fiber-section discretization influence both model fidelity and computational performance.
In addition to core modeling mechanics, the session will present the different ways engineers can run OpenSees, including the Tcl interpreter, the Python interpreter (OpenSeesPy), and hybrid workflows that blend interactive notebooks with scripted simulations. Participants will also see how these models scale from laptops to distributed high-performance computing (HPC) systems, enabling large, multi-record, or parametric studies to run efficiently across many processors.

Designing to Minimize Restraint to Shortening Cracks in Post-Tensioned Structures
2026-03-12 14:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
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.

Implementation of ASCE 7-22 Nonstructural Seismic Requirements for Today`s Complex Buildings
2026-02-24 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
With the publication of ASCE 7-22 and its future adoption by IBC and state building codes, nonstructural seismic standard implementation is undergoing a dramatic change. Though the Chapter 13 requirements of the standard remain largely intact, the methodology to calculate nonstructural seismic force and displacement is much more dependent on information about the seismic behavior of the building in which they are housed. This leaves many unanswered questions for engineers who are newly familiarizing themselves with ASCE 7-22
This seminar seeks to answer many of those questions. It reviews the current nonstructural seismic standards in ASCE 7-16 and IBC 2021 and discusses proposed implementation methods for the changes in ASCE 7-22 and future IBC editions. The presentation will be useful to engineers and suppliers of components, supports, and attachments implementing and reviewing non-structural seismic designs.
