Design and Construction of Concrete Frame Building This program explores the interaction between engineering design and the techniques of modern construction for a four-story continuous concrete frame hospital. Specific emphasis is placed on the viewpoint of the constructor, along with a pictorial history of the construction of structural components. Among the topics covered are retaining walls, drilled piers and footings, columns, beams, walls, and slabs. In addition to construction issues, an approximate engineering analysis in conjunction with a conceptual review of the structural behavior of each component is presented. Presenters make generous use of physical and digital models to enhance visualization. 6 hours.

Design of Structural Steel Members using LRFD Fundamentals of design of structural steel members using the American Institute of Steel Construction's Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (1999) are covered. The course emphasizes a limit states view of the design process. An explanation of the common failure modes, or limit states, for which members must be designed and how the LRFD Specification addresses these limit states is the focus of the course. Analysis and design examples are used to illustrate the concepts. A fundamental background in structural analysis and design is assumed. This course is excellent for engineers seeking a review of the basic principles of steel design and for experienced structural designers who have not started using the LRFD Specification in daily practice.

Renovation of Slabs on Grade
Slabs on grade are among the few structural elements that are exposed to the owner's eye. It is only natural that any defect or perceived problem tends to be noticed and brought to the engineer's attention. However, many problems in floors on ground are related to concrete and soil performance rather than design, and repairing them is not always easy. This webinar on CD provides an overview of typical problems in slabs on grade, such as settlement or heave, damage caused by environmental factors, structural failure, cracking, curling, joint deterioration, and delaminating finishes. For each problem, the instructor outlines the effective yet economical methods of detection and renovation. 1 hour.
