17TH ANALYSIS & COMPUTATION SPECIALTY CONFERENCE

The 17th A&C Specialty Conference will highlight recent research concerning theory, practice and application of all forms of computation related to the analysis and design of engineering structures. Papers accepted for the A&C Specialty Conference will be peer-reviewed, published in a separate proceedings, and eligible for publication of an extended version in a dedicated issue of the Journal of Structural Engineering.  View the A&C Specialty Conference sessions.

 

PRE-CONGRESS WORKSHOPS -- May 17, 2006

The Structural Engineering Institute invites you to attend one of two pre-congress workshops being held at the Adam’s Mark Hotel prior to the 2006 Structures Congress.  Both workshops are being held May 17, 2006 from 1-5pm.

The first workshop, “I Could Have Made that Mistake” will describe the nature of malpractice claims, present examples, and assess the impact Performance-Based Design will have on the engineer’s exposure to such claims.

The second workshop, “Structural Design for Blast Effects” will introduce participants to some of the reference material on blast effects and blast resistant design; provide an overview of similarities and differences between design for seismic resistance and design for blast resistance; provide and overview of blast effects; discuss how to calculate blast loads on structures; cover some recent research on blast effects on structures; and introduce participants to procedures for blast resistant design by reviewing a specific design example.

The cost for attendance at either workshop is $75 until April 15th and is $95 after April 15th.  Attendees will be awarded 4 PDHs.  Register today!
