COURSE DESCRIPTION:
New codes and standards have led to many significant changes in seismic design practice and much confusion regarding the implementation of their provisions. This 4-hour seminar includes an overview of many of these changes (such as those included in ASCE 7-22), example problems illustrating their application to buildings, and additional practical discussion regarding best practices, enforcement, and alternate design approaches. New seismic design techniques for single and multi-story buildings will also be discussed and illustrated through well-defined example problems. Existing buildings and new requirements for foundations will also be considered in this course.
Some presentation topics include:
• Practical history of seismic design and why things are changing
• What is new in ASCE 7-22?
• Revisiting diaphragm design
• Kinematic vs. inertial loads and why this is important
• New seismic maps
• New site classes
• New seismic ground motion
• No longer using two-period spectra and why this matters
• Base slab averaging and other seismic demand reduction procedures
• Time history analysis may no longer be an unread chapter in the standard
• Existing buildings
• Special provisions for low rise box structures with heavy walls (tilt, masonry, precast)
• Axial load limits on deep foundation elements and how to avoid them
Course hours are approved for all states including FL and NY through the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations. If you want a better understanding of seismic design in the 2020's, you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Space is limited. Please register early.
