NCSEA and the Structural Engineers Association of California
(SEAOC) have teamed up to deliver the second of two brand new Web-Based Seminar
Series on seismic design. The topic of this series is the structural design of
buildings and systems classified as Seismic Design Category (SDC) C. The series
will benefit not only engineers who design SDC C structures on a regular basis,
but also engineers who typically work on structures in other seismic design
categories (i.e., SDC A, B, D, E & F). Building your knowledge of SDC C
structural design can prepare you for that next opportunity and improve your
engineering acumen overall.
This Seminar will be delivered in five 1.5-hour webinars and
presented by some of the industry’s experts on seismic design in moderate
seismic zones.
This webinar series will provide an overview of the many facets of designing
structures for SDC C. It will feature presentations that discuss the following
topics:
- The design requirements that are unique to Seismic Design Category (SDC) C buildings and systems
- The differences between SDC C structural design compared to a structure designed to SDC D
- The design of reinforced masonry shear walls for SDC C using finite element models
- The design of reinforced concrete shear walls in SDC C that are constructed using the tilt-up construction method
- Anchorage of reinforced concrete walls to light framed diaphragms;
- Overview of the ACI 318 and ASCE 7 requirements for designing reinforced concrete structures for SDC C
- Illustrations of the design process for SDC C buildings using a steel-framed building structure example and a hospital case study
The registration fee for the Seminar is $595 for members ($995 for nonmembers), which includes all 7.5 hours of education. Each individual webinar can be purchased separately for $250 for members ($300 for nonmembers).
- Purchase all webinars in the Seminar and have access to the recordings for 1 Year.
- Each seminar purchase is per office location. If your firm is operating remotely, contact NCSEA at ncsea@ncsea.com on how to accommodate multiple users from the same location.
