Design of Post-Tensioned One-Way Slabs and Beams of Long Span Garages
2025-08-14 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
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 use of post-tensioning. The webinar will highlight the design steps of post-tensioned one-way slabs and 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.

When Disaster Strikes - Evaluator Training (Online Live)
2025-08-19 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
All too often before and after a disaster, an affected community is left on its own to struggle with preparing to respond to the event and then assessing and dealing with its damage. When assessments are not conducted quickly, a community’s residents will reoccupy potentially unsafe structures. Small scale localized events can often be handled by local building departments. However, in a large scale and/or large regional disaster, local building departments are unable to meet the demand and often unable to provide these valuable assessments. The ICC Disaster Response Inspector Program is aimed at training and certifying qualified professionals to assist with performing Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluations. It also discusses the NIMS credentialing process whereby properly trained and qualified Post-Disaster Building Safety Evaluators can be prequalified and rostered. By properly training and pre-qualifying a pool of individuals building officials are better able to jump start recovery.

PART 1 - An Overview of Significant Changes in ACI 318-25
2025-08-19 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
The latest edition of ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete was released at the end of January, 2025, although a printed version is still not available as of mid-July. It is expected to be adopted by the 2027 IBC.
ACI 318-25 introduces significant updates, including a new sustainability appendix and a new appendix on performance-based wind design, revised requirements for post-installed reinforcing bars, and enhanced provisions for shear friction. Additional updates include improvements to deep foundation requirements across all seismic design categories and clarified guidelines for cantilever and basement wall shear design.
The document also features numerous advancements in seismic design provisions (including significant relief from the severe shear design requirements for special shear walls in ACI 318-19), and modifications to development length equations. Enhanced language on the development, embedment, and anchorage of reinforcement, as well as new strength reduction factors for breakout failure, are also included, along with updated guidance for developing closely spaced bars in tension.

Designing for Durability and Safety: Seismic, Fire, and Construction Considerations for Mass Timber Connections
2025-08-26 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Mass timber continues to rise in popularity for its sustainability and structural performance – but ensuring the safety and longevity of these systems requires careful attention to connection design. This webinar examines how mass timber beam connections can meet critical requirements for seismic deformation compatibility, fire resistance, and durability during and after construction.
Presenters will review key provisions from ASCE 7, IBC, and CSA O86:24, and share findings from recent testing on concealed beam hangers and steel fasteners. Attendees will learn how to detail connections that perform reliably under seismic drift, fire exposure, and fluctuating environmental conditions common on construction sites.

Fire-resistance, Solar Panels and ESS (Online Live)
2025-08-27 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Mid-career residential inspectors and plans examiners will find this seminar insightful as will designers looking for a review of new requirements for fire-resistance between dwelling and townhome units, addition of solar panels and energy storage systems. The requirements for two-family dwelling and townhome fire-resistance have changed in some unusual ways in the 2024 IRC. The provisions are reviewed, and consequences of the changes are discussed. Topics included stacked and semi-stacked two-family dwellings, imaginary lot lines and staggered placement of townhomes. As energy storage systems and solar panels are added to existing and new homes, requirements for their placement and safe use are added to the code. New requirements for storage new the dwelling or garage are added as well as minimum distance between stacks of the ESS.

Effective Design of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames
2025-09-02 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Buckling restrained braced frames are a valuable tool in providing good seismic performance. The system has gained popularity in many applications, including in areas of moderate and even low seismicity, due to the highly controlled and predictable behavior, and the correspondingly straight-forward design methods required for the system. This presentation will cover the behavior of the system, the design requirements, considerations for effective design (including coordination with brace manufacturers), and innovative applications.
