Steel moment frames are commonly used for the lateral force resisting system in buildings. This seminar discusses the evolution of moment frame design in the past 20 years, some current...
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...
The Standard for seismic retrofit and evaluation of existing buildings, ASCE/SEI 41, is required for the evaluation of all federal buildings as well as seismically vulnerable buildings targeted by some...
This session will focus on wind loads on non-building structures, including equipment, screenwalls, PV, and signs. The session will discuss ASCE 7 wind load provisions for non-building structures and how...
The seminar will provide examples of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear wall design that highlight common mistakes and emphasize smart design. In addition to explaining specific detailing requirements for lateral resistance...
Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cementitious material that has minimum 18 ksi compressive strength and significantly more tensile strength (more than 1 ksi) tensile strength, as compared to conventional...
Steel moment frames have been regarded as the ideal structural system for seismic design, since are thought to have reasonable strength and stiffness and excellent inelastic behavior. The provide a...
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...
The 2021 IBC has been available since October 2020. It has been adopted by a few jurisdictions already and will be adopted by the state of California on January 1,...
