The Value of Giving

On Saturday April 25th, I attended the Engineers Alliance for the Arts Final Event in San Francisco to judge the bridges and presentations cre-ated by high school students. At the event were thirty other engineers who had given time that day as well as for the past three months. That very same day, sixty engineers were volunteering at the Rebuilding To-gether event in San Francisco. They gave their time to improve Alemany Farm, a local farm that yields organic produce to free food programs and provides ecology education for the local community.

What does it say when more than ninety engineers give up one day of their weekend to volunteer their time? It demonstrates that one of strengths of our profession and SEAONC is our willingness to give. Outside of our management associa-tion staff, every member of SEAONC is a volunteer. That means a member participating in the organization is giving something of themselves.

You will be receiving your online ballot soon for the election of the 2015-2016 Board of Directors. Each candidate has made the conscious decision to give their time and effort to serve SEAONC for a minimum of two years. This is in addition to the time they have already contributed to this organization through com-mittee work over the years. It is the same decision that all present and past directors have made as well.

President’s Message (Cont. from Page 1)

Every member who participates in a committee is giv-ing their time to work on things that are important to SEAONC. For some it is the development of technical papers and guidelines that benefit the entire member-ship. For others it is creating continuing education events that members can continue to learn and grow from. And for some it is about creating a well-connected profession through networking. However, for all of these activities to be effective, it requires all of the committee chairs and members committing time and effort.

SEAONC members also give their expertise outside the organization. San Francisco’s Community Action Plan for Seismic Safety (CAPSS) program constantly receives input from SEAONC members in helping shape new city ordinances related to seismic safety. Following the Napa earthquake, SEAONC members volunteered their time to the Office of Emergency Services (OES) as well as the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) to sur-vey damage and helped the community get back on its feet.

Finally, this year SEAONC was the beneficiary of two very generous monetary donations, one from Life mem-ber Raj Desai and the other from the family of Walter Hensolt. It was yet another example of structural engi-neers giving back to the profession that they had served for their entire careers.

All of these examples demonstrate the commitment of our structural engineering profession. SEAONC mem-bers know there is more to our profession than just the projects we work on, our jobs, or the practices we run. Somehow, each of us knew that when we made the career choice to become a structural engineer, we were striving for challenges bigger than ourselves. And only when we come together and give more than is asked of us do we accomplish things in SEAONC that impact those around us and make their lives better. It is something that in my opinion is common to very few professions, and is something to be proud of and celebrated. Therefore, to all SEAONC members who have participated this past year, I would like to thank you for giving your time, support and commitment to this organization.

Respectfully, Darrick B. Hom, SEPresidentSEAONC

South Bay Dinner Meeting

Deep FoundationsSpeaker: Stephen Harris

Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Time: 5:30PM-9:00PM

Location: Michael’s at Shoreline 2960 N Shoreline Blvd

Mountain View, CA

Registration Fee: Member $33 Non-Member $38 Student $20 Junior Member $25

Attendees should pre-register by contacting the SEAONC Office by phone at 415-974-5147, by email at office@sea-onc.org, or online at http://seaonc.org.

Abstract:

Deep foundation systems provide improved resistance to settlement and can safely support buildings founded on very poor soils. Deep foundations can also improve build-ing performance by providing resistance to uplift loading. The design of deep foundations involves both the Geo-technical Engineer and the Structural Engineer. Thus, it is wise for the structural engineer to become more educated regarding deep foundation design. This presentation will provide an overview of deep foundations, including vari-ous systems in common use in California, such as driven precast concrete and structural steel piles, augercast piles, cast-in-drilled-hole piles, and micropiles. Mr. Harris will discuss the behavior of each system, its range of strength and stiffness properties, as well as its best uses and limi-tations. The presentation will also incorporate a review of current and proposed building code provisions for deep foundations, and will provide discussion of design and de-tailing approaches for each system.

Post-Tensioned Floors; Design in 10 Steps – Bijan Aala-mi, Professor Emeritus, San Francisco State University

Using a real life column-supported post-tensioned floor, the presentation walks through the 10-steps that a de-signer would follow from the architectural floor plan to the structural drawing of the floor. Each step is supported with a detailed long-hand numerical calculation. The nu-merical example covers both the unbonded and bonded post-tensioning systems using the ACI-318 provisions. Practical, but rarely covered scenarios in the literature, such as treatment of changes in cross-section, discontinu-ous tendons, and selection of optimum post-tensioning force are discussed.

The SEAONC Summer Seminar will focus on the recent developments in the design of wood and masonry struc-tures. The seminar will provide an overview of recent changes in building codes and standards and highlight upcoming significant changes in wood and masonry design. Design of special reinforced masonry shear walls and various issues related to masonry detailing, construc-tion, and inspection will be presented. The attendees will also learn the latest advances in the seismic design of wood shear walls and diaphragms, cross laminated timber construction, and wood detailing.

Evening 1:

Special Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls Design -- Chukwuma Ekwueme, Associate Principal, Weidlinger Associates, Inc.Masonry Detailing, Construction, and Inspection -- John Chrysler, Executive Director, Masonry Institute of AmericaSeismic Design of Wood Shear Walls and Diaphragms -- Kelly Cobeen, Associate Principal, Wiss Janney Elstner Associates

Evening 2:

Wood Building Codes and Standards Update- Michelle Kam-Biron, Director of Education, American Wood Coun-cilCross Laminated Timber Construction -- Scott Brene-man, Senior Technical Director, WoodWorksOverview of Wood Detailing – Andy Fennell, Principal, Scientific Construction Laboratories, Inc.

Abstracts:

Special Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls Design

The presentation will focus on the design of special reinforced masonry walls. Building code requirements for designing special reinforced masonry walls to resist flexure, shear and axial loads will be discussed. Miscel-laneous design issues such as minimum wall detailing and maximum and minimum reinforcing ratios will also be presented. Recent changes to code requirements will be emphasized. Examples that outline design procedures for special reinforced masonry walls and highlight perti-nent building code requirements will be presented using strength design and allowable stress methods.

Masonry Detailing, Construction and InspectionRecent changes in the Code and Material Standards are now being implemented into masonry design and construction. This presentation will outline the recent changes increasing minimum material strengths and the impact on associated Quality Control provisions. The continuing evolution of the code is changing the amount of masonry special inspection required. The presenta-tion will discuss the move toward ‘periodic’ inspection and how much periodic inspection is appropriate. Good and bad examples of masonry will be shown and guid-ance on how communication can be the key to success-fully constructing the intended design. Masonry is often perceived as a combination of materials acting separately. The separate materials and properties of masonry units, mortar and grout will be discussed to the conclusion that the system is acting as a homogeneous wall system.

Seismic Design of Wood Shear Walls and DiaphragmsThis presentation will highlight recent developments in the design of wood shear walls and diaphragms. The recently published NEHRP Seismic Design Technical Brief No. 10: Seismic Design of Wood Light-Frame Structural Diaphragm Systems provides designers with detailed guidance on seismic analysis, design, detailing, and con-struction of diaphragms. An overview of this publication will be presented. This will be followed by highlights of changes incorporated into the 2015 AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS), with empha-sis on significant conceptual changes that designers may want to explore prior to formal code adoption. In addition, brief introductions will be provided to two soon to be published procedures for seismic design of diaphragms: an alternate procedure for determination of seismic de-sign forces across all materials, developed as part of the 2015 NEHRP Provisions and currently in the process of incorporation into ASCE 7-16, and Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings: An Alternate Proce-dure, a FEMA publication providing a newly developed design procedure.

Wood Building Codes and Standards UpdateThis course provides an overview of the changes in the 2013 California Building Code (CBC), Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE/SEI 7-10) and AWC’s 2012 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction from previous editions related to wood construction. In addition it will highlight some of the upcoming significant changes in AWC’s 2015 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and 2015 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS).

Cross Laminated Timber ConstructionWith the inclusion of CLT in the 2015 edition of the Inter-national Building Code and the 2015 edition of the Na-tional Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS), curiosity is evolving with developers, architects and structural engineering looking to use CLT in upcoming projects. Increased availability of cross laminated timber (CLT) in North America, combined with its successful use in projects, has transitioned this system from a specula-tive technology to a real structural solution. This presen-tation provides introductory material on the engineering design basis for CLT in the United States. Topics covered will include CLT system material properties for strength, deflection and vibration design, connection technologies, fire rating considerations and seismic design including an update on research developing validated seismic design coefficients.

Overview of Wood DetailingBased on decades of collective wood-frame design experi-ence; this presentation will cover:

• FAQ’s about wood detailing ranging from constructa-bility to durability.

• Lessons learned from recent construction defect litiga-tion.

• What has changed in the last 10 years and where to look further for help.

This is not your typical SEAONC presentation.

PEER Lab at UC Berkeley Accredited for 3 More Tests: ASTM E2126 & ANSI / AISC 341A recent assessment of PEER Lab at UC Berkeley by the International Accreditation Services (IAS) granted expan-sion of PEER Labs’ accreditation to include three addition-al tests:• Panel testing in accordance with ASTM E2126-11;• Beam-column testing in accordance with ANSI/AISC

341-10, Chapter K; and• Steel frame testing in accordance with ANSI/AISC 341-

10, Chapter K

ASTM E2126-11, Standard Test Methods for Cyclic (Reversed) Load Test for Shear Resistance of Vertical Elements of the Lat-eral Force Resisting Systems for Buildings - The purpose of this test is to determine the performance of a shear panel to determine the shear resistance for panels for building construction when subjected to quasi-static loading appli-cations. The outcome of the tests is to show that a given joint and frame will sustain a given load. Measurements include displacements, strain, force, and moment-curva-ture. Items of behavior include the ductility ratio, enve-lope of load-displacement behavior, hysteresis and energy determinations. The test is for reversed sequential phased displacement loading up to a “first major event” followed by optional degradation cycles and then progressing to higher levels of reversed sequential displacement loading. The test is not conducted in real time but is performed as quasi-static testing to allow for viewing of cracks and other signs of progressive failures.

ANSI / AISC 341-10, Pre-qualified Connections for Specialand Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications, Chapter K - AISC 341 establishes criteria for two types of tests, namely 1) beam-column testing, and 2) steel frame testing. The purpose of these tests is to qualify steel con-nections for moment-frame for seismic and static applica-tions. The outcome of the tests is to show that a given joint and frame will sustain a given load. Measurements in-clude displacements, strain, force, and moment-curvature.

The three accreditations outlined above are in addition to existing accreditations held by the UC Berkeley lab for test-ing to these standards:

IEEE693, Recommended Practice for Seismic Design of Elec-trical Substations - These recommendations include dis-cussions of qualification of each equipment type. Design recommendations consist of seismic criteria, qualification methods and levels, structural capacities, performance re-quirements for equipment operation, installation methods, and documentation.

AC156, Seismic Certification by Shake-table Testing of Non-structural Components - This standard establishes criteria for a specific input motion, duration, and range of frequencies to which nonstructural components should be subjected.

For the engineering community, the PEER-UCB lab has a long history of successfully providing testing facilities, staffing expertise to execute a given project, and the aca-demic background to provide appropriate data analysis, design input, and overall project management. For inqui-ries about lab availability and services please email peer_center@berkeley.edu.

ASCE 41 Seeks Your InputMany of you use the ASCE 41-13 Standard Seismic Evalu-ation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings. There is an on-going committee considering possible changes for the next edition scheduled for 2017. Bruce Maison is lead-ing a subcommittee on computer modeling parameters (e.g., backbone curves) and seeks your input on possible changes to the Standard. Please send your ideas to mai-son@netscape.com. Or better yet, attend the monthly Ex-isting Buildings Committee meetings as this topic will be discussed on a regular basis.

SEAONC Mini Seminar

San Francisco Private School Seismic RetrofitInitiative

Speakers: Laura Dwelley-Samant & David Bonowitz

Date: Monday, June 8, 2015

Registration: 5:30PM to 6:00PM

Seminar: 6:00PM to 7:30PM

Location: Arup, 560 Mission Street, Suite 700, San Fran-cisco, CA 94105

Registration Fee: $25 Registration fee payable at the door (cash, check or credit card).

Attendees should pre-register by contacting the SEAONC Office by phone at 415-974-5147, by email at office@sea-onc.org, or online at http://seaonc.org.

Drinks and light snacks will be provided.

Abstract:

Approximately one-third of San Francisco school children attend private school, the highest rate of any city or county in the State. While most San Francisco parents assume that all schools are required to be safe in earthquakes, en-gineers know this is not the case. Public and private school buildings are subject to different laws regulating their con-struction and their later seismic evaluation or retrofit. In 2012, the City of San Francisco formed a Working Group to study the seismic risk of private school buildings in San Francisco and recommend policy solutions to reduce the risk. The Working Group’s report, available at http://www.sfcapss.org/schools, led to passage of an ordinance man-dating seismic evaluations of private school buildings in San Francisco that is now in effect.

Laura Samant and David Bonowitz will discuss the Work-ing Group’s findings, their relevance to other communi-ties, the new ordinance, and the city’s new Administrative Bulletin 109.

Speaker Bios:

Laura Samant helps communities to understand and re-duce their risk from earthquakes. She has worked with communities worldwide—from San Francisco, California to Kathmandu, Nepal —currently as an independent con-sultant. Her key interest is translating state-of-the-art tech-nical knowledge about disaster risk reduction into feasible and effective policies and programs that make cities safer. Recent accomplishments include serving as a co-project manager for the City of San Francisco’s influential Com-munity Action Plan for Seismic Safety program, which led to the City’s soft story retrofit ordinance and the develop-ment of its Earthquake Safety Implementation Program, and chairing San Francisco’s Private School Earthquake Safety Working Group, which led to mandatory seismic

evaluations of private school buildings in the City. Laura Samant serves on the board of GeoHazards International, a non-profit focused on reducing natural disaster risk in de-veloping countries before disasters strike, and as the Chair of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute’s Public Policy and Advocacy Committee. David Bonowitz is a SEAONC Fellow and past Chair of SEAONC’s Existing Buildings Committee. He is a SEAONC delegate to the SEAOC Legislative Committee and the SEAOC ad hoc Building Ratings Committee, and he chairs the Existing Buildings Committee of the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations, through which he de-velops and coordinates building code changes on behalf of the nationwide engineering community. As a consultant to several Bay Area cities, Bonowitz works on the development of local seismic risk reduction programs and ordinances. He was San Francisco’s lead engineering consultant on the de-velopment of the 2014 mandatory evaluation ordinance for private schools. Bonowitz is a graduate of Princeton Univer-sity and holds a Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering from U.C. Berkeley.

Clarification of Special Inspection RequirementsOne of our members came to the SEAONC Professional Practice Committee with a question. He noted that a num-ber of jurisdictions are not enforcing the special inspection provisions for wood members that are part of the lateral resisting system that are in Chapter 17 of the IBC, specifi-cally CBC Sections 1705.11.1 and 1705.12.2. Given the re-sistance of some clients to spending any more on special inspections than absolutely necessary he wondered if this lack of enforcement meant that it was not necessary to list the special inspections for elements of the lateral system on the Statement of Special inspection for the project.

Many of these jurisdictions use special inspection check lists that do not include all of the inspections currently in the code including the special inspections for wood con-struction. It is believed that the reason that these inspec-tions are not listed in the jurisdictions checklist is because the jurisdiction has not updated the checklists to reflect the current edition of the California Building Code.

A second related question had to do with who should per-form the special inspection of wood members that are part of the lateral system, the special inspectors, the building department inspectors, or the structural engineer of re-cord. Part of the confusion results from the fact that the building inspector performs a framing inspection (CBC Section 110.3.4) where the building inspector has often commented on plywood nailing as well as straps and other hardware. This created some confusion that maybe these special inspections were in the providence of the building inspector.

The answer to the first question is that since these special inspections are code requirements the engineer needs to comply with them irregardless of whether the building department actively enforces the specific requirements. It needs to be noted that the building official does not have the authority to modify the building code so even if he actively states that the inspection is not required the engi-neer still has an obligation to comply with the code.

The reason the engineer needs to require these inspections, where mandated, is because these components are critical to the performance of the building and because if there is a problem in the future related to the wood members of the lateral resisting system the failure to require these inspec-tions could be used to show that the engineer was negli-gent in not specifying the required special inspections and thus should be responsible for the resulting losses.

In response to the question about who should perform these special inspections the answer is that the special inspections should be performed by the special inspec-tor hired by the Owner (CBC Section 1704.2). The second paragraph of CBC Section 1704.2.1 makes it clear that the engineer of record can perform special inspections if he wishes, and is qualified. Still most engineers exclude spe-cial inspections from their scope of services for business and liability reasons. It should be noted that when a firm performs a significant amount of inspection work, errors and omissions insurance carriers will consider it a nega-tive when making rating decisions.

Special inspections were introduced in the building code to address inspection issues where the building depart-ment either did not have the expertise or where the in-spections required significantly more time than the building department could devote to the project. Thus by their very nature special inspections are performed by the owner’s special inspectors and not by the jurisdic-tion’s building inspectors. The fact that the City’s build-ing inspector may comment on some aspects of the work covered by the referenced special inspections does not mean that the special inspections are not needed.

This response has been coordinated with the SEAONC Construction Quality Assurance Committee which has previously discussed most of these issues.

The Professional Practices Committee welcomes ques-tions from our membership. If you have any questions please refer them to the Committee Chair at profession-al@seaonc.org.
