Structural steel floor framing systems and diaphragms are fairly common, but code guidance is scattered over multiple sections and reliance on other standards and design guides is expected. This webinar will provide a suitable step-by-step method for navigating these codes and standards and provide example calculations and details for illustration, offering a more streamlined and time-saving procedure.

Justify the strength of metal deck diaphragms to safely resist lateral forces
Compare the performance of bare metal decks with filled metal decks
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT: Dave Adams
Dave Adams has been practicing structural engineering since graduation from the University of California, San Diego in 1990. He is currently a Principal Associate with BWE in San Diego, CA, and continues to serve as a subject matter expert for the California engineer's licensing board (BPELSG). He regularly designs and details structures of all materials and collaborates with other engineers and draftspersons. Dave also investigates structural failures or damage for a variety of building types and has written comprehensive reports to summarize findings and retrofit recommendation. Mr. Adams is actively involved in the engineering community through committee membership, paper publication, and student mentoring.
