NEW! Seismic Connections/Manual
Practical Applications of the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions - 0.80 CEUs / 8.0 PDHs
With recent advances in code requirements and options, it can be a challenge to design cost-effective connections to resist seismic demands. This seminar demystifies seismic connection design, and you will learn how to design connections for moment frames, braced frames, and other seismic load resisting elements such as chords and collectors, to resist the high-demand cyclic loads that are required in seismic applications. The seminar will discuss the philosophy of connection design, present relevant experimental results and practical design issues, and demonstrate the application of the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions in the design of these connections. The seminar is designed to:
- Explain seismic connection behavior in structural steel systems.
- Highlight seismic welding and bolting fundamentals.
- Clarify connection design requirements for systems in the 2005 Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings and Prequalified Connection Standard.
- Illustrate the connection design process with examples from the AISC Seismic Design Manual, as well as examples developed specifically for this seminar.
This seminar is tailored to the seismic requirements in the location in which it is given. In areas of low to moderate seismicity, where OMF and OCBF are common, connections for these systems will be emphasized while in areas of higher seismicity, SMF and SCBF examples will be emphasized. The seminar handouts cover the full range of connection examples for all levels of seismicity.You will gain the knowledge and tools you need to understand the conceptual approach to seismic connection design, to develop appropriate loading demands based on the building code and other considerations, and to design practical and economical seismic connections.
Handouts: Each attendee will receive a copy of the Seminar Course Notes and a copy of the AISC Seismic Design Manual, which includes the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings and the 2005 AISC Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications ($175 value for AISC members, $350 for non-members).
