Efficient concrete building design requires an in-depth understanding of how different elements of the structure interact to create an efficient system that is constructible. System behavior is seldom taught and...
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...
A minority of university engineering programs teaches structural wood design on a regular basis, yet wood is one of the most common building materials in the United States. This seminar...
The TMS 402, Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures, has two design methods: allowable stress design (ASD) and strength design (SD). This presentation will compare the differences, advantages, and disadvantages...
Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infill walls are commonly found in seismically active regions. Past earthquakes have shown the vulnerability of this type of structures even under moderate ground...
The basic principles of post-tensioned concrete for elevated structures will be discussed in a simplified manner to highlight their financial and engineering benefits. The webinar will specifically cover pre-compression, equivalent...
On June 24, 2021, the Chaplain Towers South building in Surfside Florida collapsed without warning. The initial collapse occurred outside of the building tower, in the pool deck region. Seven...
This web seminar will focus on the design of post-tensioned two way flat slabs that can be used for a multitude of building applications ranging from parking, hotel, office and...
This session will provide practical information and design examples to evaluate the serviceability performance of buildings against requirements of the IBC and ASCE 7. It will provide detailed explanations and...
