Designing for Seismic Success with Precast Concrete

Presenters: Byron Dietrich, S.E., Principal and Partner, TaylorTeter and Ned Cleland, Ph.D., P.E., President, Blue Ridge Design, Inc.

Over the past few years, we have seen some devastating earthquakes. These unpredictable events resulted in casualties; destroyed towns, cities and infrastructure; and took a toll on economies. The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute has done extensive research over the past decades to improve overall seismic design methodology and the use of precast concrete in seismic regions. This webinar will provide an overview of seismic design with precast concrete, highlighting some of the research and systems available. Specifically, the Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) will be discussed. Case studies will used to help attendees learn how to apply these concepts and systems to their projects.

The International Green Construction Code: The Next Chapter in Design

Presenter: Greg Winkler, AIA, Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic Precast Association

The International Green Construction Code (IgCC), introduced earlier this year, promises to fundamentally alter the way owners and architects view sustainability. This presentation will cover the basic organization and operation of the IgCC, and review how this revolutionary new code will shift the sustainability discussion from manufacturing and construction to life-cycle performance and durability. The presentation will also review how precast concrete satisfies many of the proposed requirements in the IgCC.

Continuing-Education Credit

Each webinar will be registered for one hour of continuing education credit. Continuing-education credits include LUs/PDHs. Credit for attending a webinar may only be issued once per attendee/per course. To receive credit, you must attend the full webinar and provide complete registration information.
