Description

When evaluating existing structures for blast loads and DC, it is important that engineers identify the critical deficiencies and maximize the contribution of the existing elements in order to minimize the extent of the structural upgrades. This webinar will provide architects and engineers with a general overview of key factors to consider when evaluating existing structures and will discuss the advantages of using advanced nonlinear dynamic analysis methods to maximize the contribution of the existing structural system. The presentation will also discuss classic blast-resistant and collapse mitigation upgrades used to retrofit typical Masonry, RC and Steel structural systems as well as glazing systems considering ductile modes of response.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Mr. McKay has 16 years of experience as a Structural Engineer with focus in the security and protection engineering field. Mr. McKay joined Protection Engineering Consultants in January of 2007. At PEC, he regularly manages physical security and blast-resistant design (Design-build, Design-bid-build) efforts for numerous buildings for conformance with the DoD requirements in UFC 4-010-01, ISC Physical Security Criteria for Federal Facilities, and Physical Security Design Manual for VA Facilities. In addition, Mr. McKay has also managed and led research efforts for the Department of State (DoS) in the field of blast-resistant design and response of structures. Aldo earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from John Brown University and a Master of Science degree in Structural Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio
Marlon Bazan, Ph.D., P.E., S.E.

Dr. Marlon Bazan joined Protection Engineering Consultants as a Project Engineer in February 2009. He supports and manages design and research projects in broad areas of blast-resistant structures analysis and design. Marlon has performed design projects subject to ATFP and explosive safety requirements for federal (GSA) and military (DoD) clients, and supports industrial and petrochemical clients with designs and upgrades to resist the effects of accidental explosions. In addition to design, Marlon supports design tool development through the incorporation of analysis and design methodologies and related response criteria into the Corps of Engineer’s SBEDS (Single-Degree-of-Freedom Blast Effects Design Spreadsheet) program. Recent efforts have added expanded structural component and retrofit capabilities to that tool. His research projects have included a test program on shoring systems for urban search and rescue for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and investigation of the blast response of steel braced frame structures conducted by PEC for the US Department of State (DoS). Marlon earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the National University of Engineering (Lima, Peru) and a MS and PhD in Structural Engineering from Northeastern University. He is a frequent contributor to and instructor for PEC sponsored short courses.

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.
