A Structural Engineer`s Primer for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
2024-12-10 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is the conceptual framework upon which ground motion intensity (i.e., spectral acceleration) is estimated for use in design throughout the United States. It is also used in site specific determination of ground motion for special projects or projects with poor site conditions. Determination of ground motion parameters is the realm of geotechnical engineers, however, structural engineers should have a working understanding of the underpinnings of PSHA to properly interpret both the design ground motion parameters and their structural analysis results. This seminar will provide a background in PSHA designed for structural engineers to develop an understanding of where critical design ground parameters are derived from.

IBC Statement of Special Inspections
2024-12-12 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
The International Building Code requires that the design professional in charge create a Statement of Special Inspections (SSI) for each project. This seminar will discuss each component of the SSI, including types of inspections, the extent of these inspections, and the frequency at which they should be provided. The discussion will not only include code prescribed inspections but many of the special inspection requirements that are not defined in referenced standards. Several project examples will be used to show how an appropriate project-specific SSI is developed.

Intrinsically Safe Structural Fire Safety Design
2024-12-17 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Chicago)
Traditionally, structural fire safety is contemplated after the structural engineering is complete for a given building. Specifically, structural systems that have been optimized for ambient design loads are then blanketed with fireproofing. This century-old, protection-centric approach endeavors to reduce the heating of individual structural members with the intent of mitigating the risk of structural collapse under fire conditions. However, project stakeholders may be left wondering if the intended structural fire safety is provided and if a rational use of resources was employed. This differs from almost all other aspects of building design in which these aspects are taken extremely seriously.
Structural engineers should advocate for their involvement in structural fire safety design as they are the only engineering discipline capable of providing intrinsically safe structural fire safety for buildings/structures with rational optimization. Since structural fire design has the potential to produce buildings that are safer, cost less, and are optimized for stakeholder design objectives such as aesthetics, carbon footprint, and allowance for innovation, the future is certainly bright for this movement.

Typical Repair Methods of Post-Tensioning Strands
2025-01-08 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago)
There is a myth that if a post-tensioning strand is broken, it has the potential to fly out of the building, create havoc and destruction as it soars over state lines and are almost impossible to repair. As most myths are, this one is completely wrong. The majority of post-tensioned buildings will have a strand or two break during their lifetime and that rarely creates a financial or a performance issue. The webinar will cover the typical repair options and numerical solutions that are available to structural engineers when a post-tensioning strands is damaged. Construction photographs, inspection reports and real building examples will highlight the various options that can and have been successfully used.

Implementation of ASCE 7-22 Nonstructural Seismic Requirements for Today`s Complex Buildings
2025-01-14 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
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.

PART 1 - An Overview of Changes in ASCE 7-22 on Wind Loads
2025-01-16 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
ASCE 7-22 is adopted by the 2024 IBC, which is in the process of being adopted by major local jurisdictions, such as the State of California and the State of New York. 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 load chapters.
We have recently presented a four-part seminar on the seismic changes. This two-part seminar concentrates on wind and tornado loads. Part 1 will be on the many significant changes in Chapters 26 through 31, including the new design wind speed maps. Part 2 will be on the new Chapter 32 on tornado loads. The applicability of the chapter and the design of structures for tornado loads using the chapter will be discussed.

Design of Loadbearing Tall Wood Studs for Wind and Gravity Loads
2025-01-21 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Chicago)
Proper design of wood structures to resist high wind loads requires the correct use of wind load provisions and member design properties. A thorough understanding of the interaction between wind loads and material properties is important in the design process. Adjustments from reference wind conditions to extreme-value peak gusts require designers to make similar adjustments to design properties to ensure equivalent and economic designs. Wind load provisions have been developed for design of major structural elements using Main Wind-Force Resisting System (MWFRS) loads and secondary cladding elements using Component & Cladding (C&C) loads. Elements and subassemblies which receive loads both directly and as part of the main wind force resisting system, such as wall studs, must be checked independently for MWFRS loads and C&C loads. A load bearing stud wall design example based on the allowable stress design methods outlined in AWC`s 2018 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and 2018 Wood Frame Construction Manual along with ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures will demonstrate standard design checks for limit states of strength and deflection.
Learning Objectives:

Understand how to analyze wall framing as part of the MWFRS per ASCE 7-16
Understand why wall framing is analyzed using out of plane C&C wind pressures independent of gravity loads
Be familiar with various ASCE 7-16 ASD load combinations used for bearing walls
Be knowledgeable of standards including the 2018 NDS, 2018 WFCM, and ASCE 7-16 used for design of tall walls

Finally, the example problem we’ll be presenting, is contained in this document:

Hand Calculations of a Long Span Post-Tensioned Beam
2025-02-06 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Long span garages are very common across the United States and are typically designed using relatively thin post-tensioned one-way slabs that are supported by post-tensioned beams and girders. The beams will often span in the 60-foot range and will typically require no camber due to proper application of post-tensioning. The webinar will show the step-by-step design calculations for a post-tensioned beams that are typical for long span garages while addressing the relevant code sections. Typical details that are associated with these types of structures will also be shown in conjunction with construction photographs.
