The University of Utah

Transitioning from the 2006 IBC to the 2009 IBC Structural Provisions

Thursday, October 15, 2009

7:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Speaker: Location: University of Utah Dr. SK Ghosh Warnock Engineering Building Room L103

SPEAKER

S. K. Ghosh, Ph.D., President Dr. S.K. Ghosh was formerly Director, Engineering Services, Codes and Standards, Portland Cement Association, Skokie, IL, and is Adjunct Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He played a major role in the development of shearwall design provisions of the 1994 UBC and the precast concrete design provisions of 1997 UBC.

Dr. Ghosh has lectured extensively in the U.S., Canada, and abroad on the analysis, response, and design of concrete structures. He specializes in the analysis and design, including earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ACI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and of the ACI Technical Activities Committee.

In addition to authoring many publications in the area of seismic design, he has investigated and reported on recent earthquakes including the Mexico earthquake of 1985, the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, the Northridge earthquake of 1994, and the Kobe earthquake of 1995, and the Kocaeli, Turkey earthquake of 1999.

SEMINAR

The 2009 IBC was published in early 2009 and is in the process of being adopted by major jurisdictions. For structural provisions, it still references ASCE 7-05, because the next edition of ASCE 7 will be the 2010 edition. However, a number of significant changes have still been made by way of amendments to the provisions of ASCE 7. One of these changes is in the area of wind design. Under Method 2, Analytical Procedure of ASCE 7, two distinct and separate design methods are provided. There is a general analytical procedure applicable to buildings of all heights; there is also a low-rise analytical procedure applicable to buildings with mean roof height not exceeding 60 ft. A simplified version of the general analytical procedure is now provided in the 2009 IBC. In the seismic design area, the most significant changes are the reinstatement or re-introduction of a minimum design base shear that is applicable to buildings assigned to all seismic design categories and minimum building separation requirements. The reference standard for concrete design has changed from ACI 318-05 in the 2006 IBC to ACI 318-08 in the 2009 IBC. This is a very major change because ACI 318-08 contains a large number of very substantive changes from ACI 318-05. The reference standard for masonry design and construction has changed from the 2005 edition of the MSJC Code to the 2008 edition of the same document. This also entails a number of rather significant changes. The reference standards for steel and wood design, on the other hand, remain largely unchanged.

2009 IBC Codes available for purchase at discounted rates. Note – All materials orders/purchases must be picked up at the seminar. Seminar notes will be provided CONTINUING EDUCATION

8 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or 0.8 CEU’s

A certificate will be provided at the conclusion of the seminar.
