Next week's webinar on Understanding the Principles and Procedures Behind ASCE 41 will be here before you know it. Reserve your spot now.

https://shop.skghoshassociates.com/understanding-the-principles-and-procedures-behind-asce-41.html

The Standard for seismic retrofit and evaluation of existing buildings, ASCE/SEI 41, is required for the evaluation of all federal buildings as well as seismically vulnerable buildings targeted by some recently passed California ordinances. Although the Standard appears foreign to some design professionals used to the prescriptive force-based procedures developed for new building design, ASCE 41 provides clarification for many questions a design professional is confronted with in evaluating existing non-ductile buildings. This presentation highlights important issues with existing building evaluation not appropriately addressed by new building code. It then steps through the principles of using the ASCE 41 procedures and provides context for the various analysis sections.

Our 2-Part webinar series on the 2024 IEBC starts tomorrow!
6/9 Part 1: Introduction and Prescriptive Path
6/11 Part 2: The Work Area and Performance Paths

https://shop.skghoshassociates.com/part-1-2024-iebc-introduction-and-prescriptive-path.html

Part 1 of this course will provide an overall introduction to the layout of the IEBC as well as a discussion of its importance. The portions of the code that apply to all projects will be discussed. The IEBC provides multiple paths for compliance, and Part 1 of this presentation will focus on the ``Prescriptive`` path.

Part 2 will focus on the ``Work Area`` and ``Performance`` paths of compliance. Examples will be provided for each. The last portion of the class will include example projects that will be looked at from a prescriptive, work area, and performance approach so that attendees will have a good feel for the limitations and benefits of each method.

Don't miss today's webinar on the Design of Connections and Components for Precast Concrete Parking Structures.

https://shop.skghoshassociates.com/part-2-design-of-connections-and-components-for-precast-concrete-parking-structures.html

The application of precast concrete to parking garage design and construction uses common components and connections, with consideration of the distinct requirements that the parking function imposes. This webinar will cover the selection and consideration of precast components and the methods used to connect these components into a functioning system.
