Design of Strengthening for Existing Steel Members

This webinar presents practical design guidelines for strengthening existing steel beams, columns, and connections.

With the focus on gravity framing systems, the webinar will cover relevant code requirements of the International Existing Building Code and the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. In addition, the webinar will review reference standards, such as AISC Design Guide 15, Rehabilitation and Retrofit Guide, 2nd Edition, that can be used to determine material strengths and section properties of older steel members.

We'll present several reinforcing schemes, including welded plate reinforcing, introduction of composite action, and post-tensioning, and discuss considerations for welding to historic steel (including members that are loaded at the time of welding). Using the design procedures of the 2016 AISC Specification, this webinar will present detailed strengthening examples that participants can reference in their design practice.
