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...
There has been a notable expansion of the use of mass timber construction in North America in recent years. Sustainability and aesthetics are key drivers for mass timber construction, and...
Recent advances, including substantial new research, have enabled reinforcing steels of higher strengths to be a viable option in a variety of applications in reinforced concrete structures. This webinar presents...
It has long been recognized that the seismic response of one-story tilt-up concrete wall buildings (and similar buildings with flexible diaphragms and rigid vertical elements) is controlled by the flexible...
The webinar will show the hand calculations for the design of stud rails to resist punching shear in compliance with the ACI code and the stud rails ESR/ICC report. Common...
This webinar will explore application of uplift and shear loads on gable-, hip- and shed-type porches for main wind-force resisting system (MWFRS) wind loads parallel and perpendicular to a building...
Structures are subjected to a wide range of loads during their service life. In the past several decades, blast loading on high-profile and critical infrastructure has become an important design...
