12.15.09: ATC Projects:Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
Speaker: Jon A. Heintz, Director of Projects, Applied Technology Council
The Applied Technology Council (ATC) was commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop a methodology for reliably quantifying building system performance and response parameters for use in seismic design (ATC-63 Project). Seismic performance factors, including the response modification coefficient (R factor), the system overstrength factor (Ă0), and deflection amplification factor (Cd), are used in current building codes and standards to estimate strength and deformation demands on seismic-force-resisting systems. These factors have become fundamentally critical in the specification of design seismic loading, yet their values have been selected based largely on judgment.
As new systems have continued to be introduced during each code update cycle, the need to quantify the seismic performance delivered by current seismic design regulations has become more urgent. Advances in performance-based seismic design technologies, and availability of experimental data on cyclic response of structural components, have resulted in a new capability to use nonlinear collapse simulation techniques to evaluate seismic-force-resisting system behavior on a probabilistic basis. This new capability has resulted in the publication of the FEMA P695 report, Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors. The methodology contained in this report is a technical advancement that will, for the first time, allow quantitative assessment of the seismic performance of new systems proposed for inclusion in future seismic design codes and standards. It replaces judgment with science, and provides transparency for informed decision-making on the setting of future seismic policy and associated seismic criteria.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.
Registration for this event will be open on November 16th.

07.23.09: NCSEA offers NY Course: Guide to the Design of Diaphragms Chords and Collectors
"Diaphragms are an essential, but often overlooked, part of a building's lateral force resisting system, both for seismic and wind design. This design guide is practical and easy to understand, and an invaluable tool for every design office."
Ronald O. Hamburger, S.E. (CA, IL, UT, WA), P.E. (LA), SECB
Senior Principal
SIMPSON GUMPERTZ & HEGER
Course Description:
The 2006 International Building Code presents clear and stringent design criteria for floor and roof diaphragms as necessary to resist wind and seismic loading. However, diaphragms may be one of the most overlooked, underdesigned, and/or inappropriately detailed areas of a building.
Diaphragms should respond elastically to design wind and earthquake forces and their failure could lead to a nonductile complete or partial collapse of the entire structure. Surprisingly, structural engineers are given little guidance on how to design and detail these systems. Simple deep beam models found in textbooks don't apply for typical building arrangements such as L-shaped buildings, buildings with lateral resistance on three sides, buildings with irregularities, and diaphragms with small or large openings. Using practical design examples, this short course presents simple analytical and computer modeling methods that appropriately account for these and other design conditions. The course is based on a recent NCSEA publication titled Guide to the Design of Diaphragms, Chords and Collectors Based on the 2006 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-05, but expands on the subject matter to address the basics of diaphragms, chords and collectors, minor changes in the 2009 IBC, special wind provisions for high wind zones, and the interpretation of results obtained when using the finite element method. All attendees will receive a copy of Guide to the Design of Diaphragms, Chords and Collectors Based on the 2006 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-05.
Course Instructor:
Timothy Wayne Mays, Ph.D., P.E. is President of SE/ES and an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. Dr. Mays is the Executive Director of the Structural Engineers Association of South Carolina and the Structural Engineers Association of North Carolina.

06.16.09: Beneficial Aspects of Multi-Hazard Approach to Design of Structures
Speaker: M. Ala Saadeghvaziri, PhD, PE, F.ASCE
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
Civil infrastructure is vital to economic development and critical to response and recovery after extreme events. However, they are also quite vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards such as earthquakes, storm surge, fire and terrorist threats; especially highway bridges. Therefore, there is a need to move toward multi-hazard deign of structures. This talk will highlight beneficial aspects of such an approach.
Multi-hazard approach to design of structures will require emphasis on vertical strength and stability to ensure collapse prevention. Consequently, structural elements response in the vertical direction and connections details will require special consideration. Collapse of an intermediate support (due to fire or terrorist acts) or buoyancy pressures from an storm surge (such as Hurricane Katrina) or vertical motion of earthquake ground motion all exert demands on structural components (such as building transfer girders or bridge deck superstructure), bearings, and load transfer mechanism to the foundation that are not considered within the existing design guidelines. This presentation discusses such commonality among various hazards and through a highway bridge example some of the parameters are highlighted in quantifiable terms. It is shown that multi-hazard approach will require providing additional rotation capacity at the bearings to ensure development of catenary action and to prevent progressive collapse. Furthermore, integrity reinforcements, or more generically multi-hazard reinforcements, must be provided in the deck to account for higher and/or reversed flexural and shear demands on the deck. Robust mechanism to transfer large catenary action forces at the abutments is yet another factor to consider within a multi-hazard framework to design of highway bridges.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

04.08.09: Morning Seminar on Dynamic Loads and Effects:Techniques for Performance Based Design of Structures, and Applications of Advanced Modeling, Testing, and Full-Scale Simulations
Speaker: Jamieson K. Robinson, P.Eng
Registration: 8:00 a.m.
Lecture: 8:30-10:00 a.m.
Modern Architecture has pushed the advancement of engineering technology and techniques such as wind tunnel and microclimate testing on structures. With the advancement of modern technology these test are becoming more and more common.
The lecture, “Dynamic Loads and Effects, Techniques for Performance Based Design of Structures, and Applications of Advanced Modeling, Testing, and Full-Scale Simulations”, discusses an array of wind and microclimate topics that have an impact upon the design of structures. How does the shape and position of a building with respect to its surroundings have an effect on the wind load analysis? Does wind tunnel analysis have an effect on making a structure a “green” building? The focus on a “greener” building is an issue that is present in today’s society. By harnessing the wind and solar effects on a building we are able to optimize a buildings comfort and performance and the level of “green” of the building.
With the changing economy, many structural engineers have found themselves no longer designing the next tallest building. Jamieson Robinson will to touch upon the practicalities and benefits of wind tunnel and microclimate testing not only just on tall buildings but on building exteriors and interiors, link bridges, cantilever elements, spires and architectural features.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.

03.17.09: The Future of Transportation in the New York Region: Manage, Fix or Build?
Speakers:
Jeff Zupan, PE
Regional Plan Association
Senior Fellow, Transportation
Rich Barone
Regional Plan Association
Transportation Planner
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
We are now in a global recession, limiting capital for investments in infrastructure, public health, safety, security and other essential services. Regionally, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are all looking at mounting budget deficits for the coming year and likely the next few. No one really knows how long this recession will last or when economic recovery will come. In this environment how do we prioritize our investments in transportation? How do we ensure that our transportation systems have sufficient funding to operate, maintain a state of good repair, and move forward with critical expansion projects? There is little doubt that New York will experience growth again; therefore, we must not abdicate our responsibility to plan and invest in our future.
This presentation will focus on Regional Plan Association’s transportation agenda that was expounded in the “3rd Regional Plan: A Region at Risk” and expanded on in our recently released report “Tomorrow’s Transit: New Mobility for the Region’s Core.” We will discuss how we might prioritize investments during these fiscally constrained times. Will the next generation of infrastructure in NYC be maintaining a “state of good repair” for the existing system and improving how we manage our transit and transportation assets? Would pricing be the most effective tool to manage future demand? The discussion will cover the region’s airports, surface and rail transport, tolling technologies/policies, transit-oriented development opportunities, the interrelationship between transit and land use.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

Assistant Chair of Undergraduate Architecture, Pratt Institute School of Architecture
The working relationship of the Architect/Engineer has radically changed over the last decade and to be successful in the future, engineers will need to embrace the changing ways in which a project is realized. Modern Architecture, with its complex forms and geometries are challenging the technology of engineering and construction to new limits that demand a more integrated model for the design team to collaborate across disciplines from design inception to completion.
The presentation will focus on how the structural engineer can best perform in an integrated design team and infuse structural engineering strategies in both the Architectural profession and as a new model in education curriculums. The architectural design studios at Pratt Institute and Columbia University are embracing an integrated education with structural engineers playing key roles in their education. Recent projects by architectural students will be presented to illustrate the empowerment of design ideas by understanding the fundamentals of structural systems and how it relates to the professional practice.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.

01.20.09: Fabric Structures and ETFE Cushions - Structural Engineering Design
WILFRIED LAUFS, Ph.D. - Thornton Tomasetti
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
Modern architecture with a focus on lightweight structures makes use of fabric skins that require form finding and interaction with the sub-structure, whether it’s cable systems or other steel support structures. For the structural engineer, double-curved surfaces need to be established early on, where membranes can’t support in-plane bending forces and anticlastic surfaces only work in tension. The presentation will demonstrate some of the latest technologies for recent fabric structures, also showing the design and computational aspects of fabric-substructure interaction from an engineering point of view. Furthermore, some design principles of the use of ETFE foil cushions will also be discussed and their use in air-pressured pneumatic structures.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

12.16.08: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum: Structural Evaluation and Repairs
Registration: 5:45
Lecture: 6:15
Robert Silman Associates Structural Engineers was retained by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation to conduct a comprehensive structural assessment of the museum focusing on the Main Rotunda. The Main Rotunda is a system of cantilevering sloped ramps supported by radial walls that define the distinct geometry of the museum. The building is an expression of reinforced concrete structural elements. The structure is comprised of both cast-in-pace concrete and sprayed gunite (shotcrete).
The presentation is an overview of the components involved in our structural investigation, analysis, and repair design. The investigation phase included laser scanning, non-destructive evaluation, probes, material testing, and structural monitoring. The analysis phase included the creation of a finite element model that mathematically reflects the existing geometry and material properties. This model was constructed from the laser scan data to include the as-built conditions. This cutting edge use of laser scanning was very complex. Conditions revealed from the probes were included in the model and monitoring data were used to correlate the model with the actual movements of the walls. The model was used to analyze the structure under dead loads, live loads, wind loads, temperature loads and the code required load combinations. Deficiencies from the original construction were identified on the upper floor and repairs were required. Many challenges were faced during the design phase. As a historic structure there were limitations on repairs that impacted the exterior. Final repairs involved carbon fiber reinforcing, steel brackets, and dampers.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

There is a resurgence of high rise and ultra-high rise building construction around the world. The design of these tall buildings in seismically active regions varies dramatically from region to region. Whereas rigorous performance-based assessments are required in some countries, many other countries do not require anything beyond traditional design practice that is based on fundamental mode response and force reduction factors. Given the international nature of high-rise design and construction in the world today and the lack of consensus procedures for the seismic design of tall buildings, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) tasked the three authors to write the seismic design recommendations that are the subject of this seminar. The Recommendations for the Seismic Design of High-rise Buildings set out best-practice principles for the seismic design of high rise buildings for any level of seismic hazard.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place.
For SEAoNY members, registration is $20 in advance or $30 at the door.
For non-members, registration is $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

02.19.08: DOB Seminar on Excavation and Underpinning
Excavation in a crowded urban environment like New York City is never simple. The majority of new buildings being constructed in the city are built next to existing buildings. This seminar from the NYC DOB will focus on the issues that arise due to these constraints. Tim Lynch will discuss the impact of excavation on adjacent buildings and how different historic construction is effected by that excavation. He will focus on underpinning techniques and the NYC Building Code's requirements and enforcement. A key to preventing the undermining of adjacent foundations is better awareness of what we are building next to. The purpose of this seminar is to advise building professionals as to how to gain this awareness.
The event will take place at the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place, at 6:00 pm.
Presenter: Timothy Lynch, Chief Engineer for DOB's newly created Excavation Unit.
Also in attendance: Delia Shumway - Engineer, Robert DelAssio - Director, Miguel Padin - Chief Inspector, and Eyal Amos - Senior Inspector.

01.15.08: Support & Resist: Structural Engineers and Design Innovation
As architectural projects have become increasingly complex, as materials have become more dynamic, as the computer has become a widespread tool, the collaborative partnership of architects and structural engineers has gained prominence. Many of the major structures of the early twenty-first century would have been inconceivable without the engineer's ingenuity and design intuition.
By foregrounding structure as an integrated aspect of design, Support and Resist emphasizes work of engineers who are involved at the outset of a design project. Author Nina Rappaport will lead a panel discussion of prominent engineers in the industry today to discuss the role of the engineer in the expanding boundaries of design.

06.11.07: Ground Zero: Engineers' Response to the Attack, Potential Liabilities and Public Safety
The attacks of September 11 and the immediate response by the engineering community in providing structural consulting services at Ground Zero resulted in perhaps the largest recovery and site clean up in modern history. All of this was done more quickly than planned and under budget. Unfortunately, it also resulted in numerous lawsuits against professional design firms providing those services. The lawsuits pertain not to their work as professional engineers, but relate to other claims by plaintiffs who allege illness due to toxic exposures at the WTC site.
The speakers for this morning seminar, sponsored by ACEC New York, will discuss how they responded in the aftermath of the terrorist attack, the challenges they faced, and what needs to happen in order to protect engineers when they respond to future crises.

05.08.07: Design and Construction of Cold-Formed Steel Structures
SEAoNY will be presenting its annual full-day seminar this year on cold-formed steel construction, hosted at the Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan.
Cold-formed steel construction presents a unique opportunity for multi-story structures: short to medium floor spans and repetitive room sizes are well suited to framing with cold-formed steel. Today’s market for these types of structures is high, with hotels, motels, apartments, condominiums, assisted living facilities, being built at a rapid rate across the nation. With codes that provide incentives for non-combustible construction, and the quality available with steel, more and more structures are being built.
How high can these structures go? What other framing members and materials work well with cold-formed steel? What are some of the challenges and benefits? What are some of the mistakes that have been made, and how you can avoid them in your next project? What are some of the successes? Be armed with the resources to choose the best design and framing methods, know when to say yes and no to cold-formed steel framing.
Please see the event flyer for more information on the event speakers, Don Allen, P.E., and Jeffrey Klaiman, P.E. An event outline and registration information can also be found on the flyer. We hope you'll join us in May!

Please consider having your office attend the new short course from NCSEA presented below and to be highlighted in STRUCTURE® magazine.
Registration forms can be obtained from the web link at the bottom of this page. NCSEA is offering this FULL DAY short course in cities across the country.
Contact Dr. Mays directly (timothymays@bellsouth.net) for additional discounts that may be available for firms sending multiple employees.
Don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity! 8.0 PDHs will be awarded for attending this short course.
Guide to the Design of Out-of-Plane Wall Anchorage: Based on the 2006/2009 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-05
Course Description:
The 2006/2009 International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE/SEI 7-05 contain detailed design requirements for wall anchorage systems to resist out-of-plane wind and seismic load effects. However, the provisions are scattered throughout the code and/or referenced standards, are material specific, and are often challenging for practicing structural engineers to apply for many practical building configurations. Using concept oriented instruction, Dr. Mays breaks down the analysis and detailing requirements separately for seismic and wind anchorage. Structural walls, nonstructural walls, parapets, and cladding are each considered separately as related to governing provisions. Solutions for high wind areas, Seismic Design Category (SDC) B, and SDC D are provided for each problem presented in the course. Example anchorage problems for connecting concrete, masonry, timber, and precast walls/panels to diaphragms composed of various materials are presented. Special provisions for subdiaphragms, continuous ties/struts, pilasters, straps, eccentric connections, and wood ledgers are included. A detailing example for economical tilt up wall anchorage using just metal decking is presented. Comprehensive examples are provided for subdiaphragms composed of wood structural panel sheathing on wood framing and metal decking on steel joists. The course is based on a new NCSEA publication titled Guide to the Design of Out-of-Plane Wall Anchorage: Based on the 2006/2009 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-05.
Course Location:
July 14, 2010 – New York City (Hotel Penn)
Author and Course Presenter:
Timothy Wayne Mays, Ph.D., P.E. is President of SE/ES and an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at The Citadel in Charleston, SC. Dr. Mays recently served as Executive Director of the Structural Engineers Associations of South Carolina and North Carolina. He currently serves as Chairman of the Structural Technical Group for ASCE SC Section and NCSEA Publications Committee Chairman. He has received two national teaching awards (ASCE and NSPE) and both national (NSF) and regional (ASEE) awards for outstanding research. He is the recipient of the 2009 NCSEA Service Award. He is a prolific speaker who sits on several code writing committees and his areas of expertise are code applications, structural design, seismic design, steel connections, structural dynamics, and civil engineering aspects of antiterrorism.
“The NCSEA short course on anchorage for out-of-plane seismic and wind forces will be helpful to practicing engineers of all levels and backgrounds. It provides a step-by-step approach from developing the load path through detailing the connections for a multitude of different structural systems that are commonly used for both wall and diaphragm elements. Tim Mays is an outstanding lecturer who presents the material in a clear and concise fashion, and will provide the background so that the attendees will be able to successfully use the material presented in the seminar and the companion NCSEA document in their practice. I am confident that the attendees will consider their time at the short course as informative, educational and extremely well spent!” - James O. Malley, Structural Engineer and Senior Principal, Degenkolb Engineers
