This presentation will provide an overview of the design and expected seismic behavior of steel braced frames. Brace frames are a practical and economical system for resisting lateral loads. The...
This webinar will cover common structural challenges faced during plan review. Issues related to coordination between various design professionals, plan revisions required midway through the approval process that may impact...
With the publication of ASCE 7-22 and its future adoption by IBC and state building codes, nonstructural seismic standard implementation is undergoing a dramatic change. Though the Chapter 13 requirements...
Part 1 will cover structural design fundamentals for a variety of retaining wall types. It will address fill walls, such as cast-in-place concrete cantilevered walls and mechanically stabilized earth walls;...

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...
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...
