INSTRUCTOR:
Dave K. Adams, P.E., S.E., M.ASCE

Purpose and Background

This proposed 2-day seminar will walk participants through a fully worked out structural design example of a 4-story building where the bottom level is concrete, the next level up will be masonry, the next level up will be structural steel, and the uppermost level will be wood-frame. Design codes will include the 2015 International Building Code, ASCE 7-10, NDS-2015, SDPWS-2015, AISC 360-10, AISC 341-10, ACI 530-13, and ACI 318-14. Some of the topics covered will include the calculation and distribution of lateral forces; consideration of seismic irregularities; design of beams which also act as chords or drag struts; gravity-load design for girders, posts, and connections; horizontal diaphragms and vertical shear walls throughout; distribution of lateral forces based on the rigidities of resisting elements; collectors and chords; anchorage of shear walls to concrete; design of shallow-type foundations.

Seminar Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Outline the changes made in all of the updated relevant structural codes referenced in the 2015 IBC
Explain how to design gravity load supporting members using all building materials
Explain how to design lateral force resisting systems for all building materials
Recognize how all the building materials connect and function together as a whole
Analyze the different requirements in different seismic design categories
Explain the requirements for combining loads per ASCE 7-10
List principles for code interpretation
Apply knowledge of the background behind code issues to make practical design decisions

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Achievement of the learning outcomes by attendees will be assessed through seminar evaluations, periodic material summaries, multiple question and answer sessions, personal contact between sessions, and a review at the end of the seminar.

Who Should Attend?

Structural engineers, civil engineers, engineering students, and building officials will benefit from this seminar.
