NCSEA/SEAOC Webinar Series: Concrete Slender Wall Design and its Out-of-Plane Anchorage, Presented by John Lawson, S.E., Cal Poly SLO

NCSEA and the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) have teamed up to deliver the second of two brand new Web-Based Seminar Series on seismic design. The topic of this series is the structural design of buildings and systems classified as Seismic Design Category (SDC) C. The series will benefit not only engineers who design SDC C structures on a regular basis, but also engineers who typically work on structures in other seismic design categories (i.e., SDC A, B, D, E & F). Building your knowledge of SDC C structural design can prepare you for that next opportunity and improve your engineering acumen overall.

March 7 - Day 3: Concrete Slender Wall Design and its Out-of-Plane Anchorage, Presented by John Lawson, S.E., Cal Poly SLO

The design of slender concrete walls out-of-plane, also known as tilt-up construction, is based on a combination of theoretical and experimental evidence; however, the concepts behind the provisions in ACI 318 are often misunderstood and sometimes improperly applied. This presentation will explain the basis of many of the provisions with some seismic design examples. Additionally, the importance of out-of-plane wall anchorage will be highlighted with a summary of the anchorage design and load flow modeling.
