ARCHIVED STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WEBCASTS:
Vertical Evacuation and Structural Technologies
Aired on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 2 PM ET/1 PM CT/11 AM PT
To mitigate risk to natural disasters such as tsunamis, coastal areas have usually planned evacuation to areas of naturally occurring high ground outside the tsunami inundation zone. A vertical evacuation refuge is a building or earthen mound or hill that has sufficient height to elevate evacuees above the level of tsunami inundation, and, if it’s a structure, is designed and constructed with the strength and resiliency needed to resist the effects of tsunami waves. Learn how to design and strengthen a vertical evacuation structure from experts such as Steven M. Baldridge, President of BASE and author of FEMA's guide to designing vertical evacuation structures. Structural Engineer Editor-in-Chief Dan Cuoco will also discuss vertical evacuation strategies for tall buildings involving manmade disasters, such as the 9/11 attacks.

New Technology in Seismic Loading
Aired on October 10, 2011
Viscous dampers, SMRF's, earthquake and seismic mitigation strategies, and moment resisting frames will be covered in this seismic design strategies presentation. Dr. Kit Miyamoto, CEO of Miyamoto International, specializes in high performance earthquake engineering and disaster mitigation, response and construction. Dr. Miyamoto, a native of Tokyo, was on a train there when the 9.0 earthquake hit off the Japanese coast creating the massive tsunami that destroyed much of the Japanese coast. He was there presenting at the Tokyo Earthquake Engineering Conference hosted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Since then he’s gone back several times to volunteer his services in the reconstruction. Dr. Miyamoto has also volunteered in the ongoing reconstruction of seismically resistant buildings in Haiti and Chile after the earthquakes there. In this webcast he will share seismic resistance technologies such as special moment resistance frames (SMRFs), fluid viscous dampers and fluid visco-elastic dampers.

BIM Structural Design Series: Efficient Structural Workflows for Design and Collaboration
Aired on October 12, 2010
The process of building design can be complicated and inefficient. Multiple stake holders, complex project needs, and a variety of software tools from team members can only compound the problem. To overcome the inherent nature of the process, project teams must collaborate and communicate effectively. Efficient workflows must be established to produce clear, consistent, accurate, and technically correct models and drawings.
In his presentation, Matthew S. Trammell, P.E., structural engineering manager at TRC Worldwide Engineering, Inc., will discuss how their team successfully leveraged technology to develop the structural steel shop drawings concurrently with the development of the structural construction documents, a process known as Early Steel Detailing. Once the design and construction team agreed on the process, they estimate they saved at least two months of construction time. Additionally, Raoul Karp, P.E., S.E., director of product management at Bentley Systems, Inc., will discuss how Bentley’s ISM platform can enable the entire design team to successfully collaborate on the design, coordinate the models and drawings, and produce high-quality designs despite the complexity of the project.

WANT TO LEARN MORE?
Structural Engineer hosts two types of webcasts. For one type, industry experts are invited by Structural Engineer staff to present; sometimes presenters are users of the sponsor’s product or service. Sponsors are not invited to participate in the presentation. Structural Engineer staff review the content in advance, ensuring that it meets our standards. This online presentation option is well suited for delivering information about industry trends, best practices, project case studies, and more.
For the other type, sponsors present on a topic of their choice. Structural Engineer staff review the presentation to ensure that it meets our standards. This online presentation option is well suited for presenting the technical merits of a specified product, providing design guidance for a specific product, or training for a software solution.
Structural Engineer will promote either type of webcast to its magazine and e-Newsletter subscriber database. Professionals who wish to register will be directed to the Structural Engineer Webcast Series landing page. This process assures that all unsubscribe and opt-out requests are honored by ZweigWhite.
