Concrete Buildings

Description

To apply effectively the seismic provisions of the National Building Code

of Canada NBCC05, structural engineers need a thorough understanding

of the fundamentals of earthquake engineering including ground motionseismology, structural dynamics, concept of capacity design, inelastic

behaviour of various materials, and seismic design and detailing. This

course provides an opportunity to learn the basic principles and practices

of analysis and design of earthquake-resistant building structures. Static

and dynamic analysis of buildings using advanced computer codes is

presented. The course covers seismic design and detailing of steel and

reinforced concrete buildings.

Deep Foundation Design, Construction and Testing with

Related Case Histories

Description

Over the past twenty-ve years, major changes have occurred in the deep

foundations industry. New improved methods have been developed for

installing all types of deep foundations, increased loads are being used andnew quality control procedures have been developed. For driven piles,

higher loads are being achieved with new hammers, dynamic quality control

methods have been adopted, wave equation analysis is being widely used,

and higher strength materials are becoming common. Auger-cast piles are

being used with increasing frequency, high capacity drilled shafts are being

utilized more frequently and new design and specications have been

adopted in many codes and specications. This course presents modern

design procedures for deep foundations and discusses latest developments.

Practicing professionals

Objective

Design of Equipment Foundations

Description

Design of Equipment Foundations considers the type of loads (staticand dynamic) induced by the various types of machinery, modes of

structural response of the foundation and/or supporting frame, as wellas the response and damping provided by the soils. The course cov-

ers fundamentals of machine dynamics for derivation of the applied

loads, behaviour of different types of rigid block and pile-supported

foundations, analysis and design of tabletop structures for equipment

support, machine foundations on frozen soils, vibration damageassessment and prevention. Practical examples implementing theintroduced principles are included.

This course will enable you to design equipment foundations using

software such as Excel and common nite element packages withoutresorting to custom design software. This promotes better understand-

ing and control over the results and adaptability of the design for

changing design parameters.

The access to a laptop computer during the seminar is benecial but notessential.

Objective

To provide participants with up-to-date knowledge of different types

of foundations for equipment under all types of dynamic loads.

Who Should Attend

Civil, structural, geotechnical, mechanical, industrial and plant engineers

as well as consulting engineers and other individuals who deal with

the analysis and design of equipment foundations and want to acquire

a working knowledge of the current design practice.

Design and Analysis of Earth Retaining Walls

Description

Modern retaining structures that support soils at slopes steeper than their

angle of repose, are constructed of a broad range of materials, such as

masonry, mass concrete, reinforced concrete, pre-cast concrete, timber,metal, and geo-synthetics. Retaining walls are classied based on

their styles, such as gravity walls, semi-gravity walls, cantilever walls,

counter-fort walls, crib walls, reinforced soil walls, sheet-pile walls

and braced excavation. Regardless the type and material of an earth

retaining structure, two requirements must be satised in the design,

i.e., the external stability and internal stability under various loading

and environmental conditions. In this short course, the theoretical

aspects of retaining structures are studied rst, followed by the analysis

and design of common earth retaining structures. Students will practice

the analysis and preliminary design of common earth retaining walls.

Objectives

To explain the theoretical principles so participants can assess the internal

and external stability, select design criteria and carry out preliminary

design.

Who Should Attend

Engineers, technologists and technicians practicing geotechnical,

structural, environmental, municipal and transportation engineers,

designers, architects, construction managers, contractors, infrastructure

inspectors, owners and other technical personnel interested in the design,

analysis, assessment and rehabilitation of earth retaining structures.

Prerequisite

The participants should have basic knowledge of soil mechanics

(typically offered in the 2ndor 3rdyear civil engineering programs in

universities and community colleges).
