This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 07/30/2014. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W073014, will not receive CEU for attending the 06/02/2015 presentation. This webinar will cover the development of the equivalent seismic force based on IBC 2012 and ASCE 7-10 using ASCE 7-10 Section 12.8. The development of seismic forces using the Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure equation V=Cs * W will be explained through the terms of Newton's 2nd Law. The webinar will define the forces generated during an earthquake and how those forces travel through the building to the ground.
Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive and students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
List the types of forces generated by an earthquake
Summarize the general nature of Newtons 2nd law and how it is the basis of the Equivalent Lateral Force Method
Calculate how to combine the importance of the buildings function, grounds ability to shake and the structures ability to withstand that shaking into a single representative earthquake force
Recognize the significance of the ductility of the lateral force resisting systems
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT: Jill Nelson, PE, SE, LEED AP BD+C
Jill Nelson is a registered Civil and Structural Engineer in California and Washington. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno and a Master of Science in Engineering from the University of Washington with an emphasis in Structural Engineering. With over 20 years of experience, she is an accomplished designer of low and mid-rise building constructed of wood, steel and concrete. Through the years her areas of interest has increased to include both new construction and renovation of existing buildings with a focus on seismic rehabilitation.
