Description

Shear walls are the main seismic load resisting elements in reinforced masonry (RM) structures. Compared to RC shear walls, RM shear walls have their unit features and reinforcing details, which need special considerations in their design and performance assessment. This webinar will present recent advances in the nonlinear modeling of RM wall structures, and in particular, simplified nonlinear models that can be used in pushover and time-history analyses for ASCE 41-type procedures.

P. Benson Shing, Ph.D., is a professor of Structural Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. He specializes in the analysis and design of concrete and masonry structures, and has been the principal investigator of a number of research projects to study, improve, and predict the performance of these structures under extreme seismic load conditions. His research involves large-scale quasi-static and shaking-table testing, and the development of nonlinear constitutive models and finite element models to assess and predict the global as well as local damage behavior of concrete and masonry structures. He is a member of the Seismic Subcommittee and the Flexure, Axial Load, and Shear Subcommittee of TMS 402 on Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures.

NCSEA Webinars and Digital Events Cancellation and Refund Policies

Webinar Cancellation

By NCSEA: If a webinar is canceled by NCSEA, all registered attendees will be notified via email. NCSEA will issue a full refund if the event cannot be rescheduled. If the event is rescheduled and a registrant can not attend on the rescheduled date, NCSEA will offer a credit in the amount of the purchase price.

By Registrant/Attendee: Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of the webinar (or the first webinar in the case of a series or bundle) and in writing via email ( ncsea@ncsea.com) with the subject line "NCSEA Webinar Cancellation" and include the following in the body of the email: Title of Webinar, Order/Invoice Number, Name of Registrant, and Reason for Cancellation. No telephone refund requests will be accepted.

If the request has been approved, NCSEA can do one of the following:

Refund the amount back to the original order payment method (a $25 cancellation processing fee will be assessed)

Issue a full credit on the purchaser’s account that can be used towards a future webinar/event.

If you are unable to attend the webinar and the cancellation deadline has passed, a recording will be available (in most cases) in the Education Portal after the webinar has concluded.
Refunds are not granted due to attendee technology issues. It is your responsibility as the webinar attendee to test your computer setup prior to the start of the webinar.
