September 18 | It’s Joist That Simple: System Design and Structural Reliability

Description

Steel joist and deck can provide additional strength and serviceability to your structure. Several steel industry associations, including the Steel Joist Institute and the Steel Deck Institute, are currently sponsoring research using system reliability concepts to develop more rational and better-performing joist and deck system design methods that will not add to the complexity of joist and deck design for consulting engineers and architects but will yield safer and more economical designs. This webinar will provide a simple and understandable methodology for designers to take advantage of imbedded system reliability.

This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute in partnership with the Steel Deck Institute. Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the basis for reliability-based design using LRFD.
• Understand the current application of element reliability versus system reliability.
• Learn the variables that are considered in determining structural system reliability.
• Be able to apply system reliability factors to the design of structural systems, specifically joist and deck.

Speaker

Thomas Sputo, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., Technical Director of the Steel Deck Institute and Consulting Structural Engineer
Hannah B. Blum, Ph.D., Associate Professor; and Alain H. Peyrot, Fellow in Structural Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Date/Time

Date: September 18, 2024
Time: 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET

Who Should Attend This Webinar?

Structural engineers, fabricators, detailers and connection design firms that are responsible for steel joist and joist girder building designs and their connections. Those with very little design experience as well as those with many years of experience will find the course beneficial.

Professional Development Hours

Each participant will earn 1.5 PDHs and receive a certificate of completion from SJI.
