The tension force in unbonded strands that is used in the Whitney Stress Block, is determined by multiplying the section area by the fps value. Two equations are used to...
This webinar will provide general information on the use and design of flat voided concrete slab systems in steel reinforced concrete buildings. Requirements for strength and serviceability (deflection and vibration)...
This multi-part series provides an overview of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) structural provisions for engineers. With a focus on wood construction, the course addresses gravity and lateral loads...
Exterior cold-formed steel framing is a common system used for the “skin” of a building and is a crucial component of a building’s exterior. Structural engineers need to pay particularly...
Why can’t engineers simply increase the service moment used for stress analysis by a load factor and use that for Ultimate Strength design? This approach would be valid for steel...
This webinar will dive into the seismic provisions of the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), focusing on simplified yet crucial requirements for ensuring structural safety in one- and two-family dwellings....
This webinar will dive into the seismic provisions of the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), focusing on simplified yet crucial requirements for ensuring structural safety in one- and two-family dwellings....
The webinar will focus on the hand calculations to design a post-tensioned structural two-way slab that supports multi levels of conventional wood or metal stud framed buildings. The specific detailing...
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is the conceptual framework upon which ground motion intensity (i.e., spectral acceleration) is estimated for use in design throughout the United States. It is also...
The International Building Code requires that the design professional in charge create a Statement of Special Inspections (SSI) for each project. This seminar will discuss each component of the SSI,...
