Classes begin Monday, February 5, for AISC’s new Night School course “Seismic Design in Steel.” Presented by Rafael Sabelli, SE, principal and director of seismic design at Walter P Moore, the course comprises eight, 90-minute live webinar sessions, which all take place on Monday evenings beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
The course, based on AISC’s 2010 Seismic Provisions and second edition Seismic Design Manual, is intended to provide engineers with guidance to apply the AISC seismic design requirements on typical projects in regions of moderate or high seismicity. It includes conceptual treatment of the principles of seismic design so that engineers can understand the intent and basis of the AISC requirements, as well as a long design example extrapolated from the Seismic Design Manual that provides more specific guidance on the application to the design of a low-rise building.
Here’s a look at the full schedule:
Session 1: February 5 - Seismic Design Concepts - Course Introduction
Session 2: February 12 - Seismic Design Concepts - Moment Frames
Session 3: March 5 - Seismic Design Concepts - Braced Frames
Session 4: March 12 - Seismic Design Concepts - Design
Session 5: March 19 - Application - Design Example Setup
