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.

Typical Repair Methods of Post-Tensioning Strands
2026-02-10 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
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.

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.
