SUMMARY:SESOC Seminar Christchurch - Detailed Engineered Timber Design
DESCRIPTION:SESOC Seminar – Detailed Engineered Timber Design:\n1. Durability and Moisture Management\n2. Realising Design Impacts on Build Costs\n \nJuly 24\, 2024 (Wednesday)\nChristchurch\nNovotel\, Christchurch Cathedral Square\nChristchurch \nRegistration 12:45 pm\nThe seminar starts at 1:00 pm\nThe Seminar finishes at 5:00 pm \nJoin Bjørn Stankowitz and Andy van Houtte when they present Detailed Engineered Timber Design – focusing on two topics: \n\nDurability & moisture management\nRealising design impact on building costs\n\nThe two topics in this seminar can influence the viability of a timber project and be vital for the immediate and long-term success of a timber building. This will be a great discussion as these topics are often considered after structural design of a building rather than in conjunction with the design process. \nIn February\, Bjørn did an introductory presentation on moisture management which you can watch here. Bjørn will provide a thorough discussion about durability and moisture management at the seminar in July. \nAlso this seminar\, Andy Van Houtte will cover the following topics below to help answer the question ‘What design decisions impact the cost of timber building the most?’ \n\nDesign conundrums\nTimber building systems cost comparison\nMaterial and fixing capacity cost ratios\nConnections and CNC costs\nLabour/cranage/transport costs\nConstruction costs impacted by design\nSupply chain overview\nCost of moisture ingress during construction\n\nBy incorporating these thorough processes\, designers can not only safeguard structures but also deliver projects that meet developers’ needs for speed and efficiency. \nThis seminar is suitable for engineers at all experience levels. \nCheck out this brochure for more details \nRegister Now!\nSingle Registration\nGroud Registration \nInvestment details\nSESOC & TDS members – $400 + GST\nNon-members – $480 + GST \nFor any inquiries\, please contact Cheryll at info@cwevents.co.nz \n

SUMMARY:Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nSustainable Design for Structural Engineers\nSESOC is excited to host their first webinar on Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers. \nNew Zealand’s net-zero-carbon legislation requires all industries to contribute to the carbon reduction journey and this is no different for the Construction and Structural Design industries.  The Building and Construction sector currently accounts for around 15% of New Zealand’s annual carbon emissions (MBIE\, 2021)\, and around half of this is through the materials used in buildings and infrastructure. \nSESOC is committed to supporting the shift towards net zero carbon construction\, and to that end\, are looking for ways we can support our members to engage\, understand\, and undertake embodied carbon assessments for their projects\, increasing the ‘carbon literacy’ of the industry (and clients) ahead of the expected mandatory reporting requirements from Central Government. \nWhen: Thursday 28th October at 5.30pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nCost: Free | Register here \nTo Kick start our conversations on Sustainable design\, we welcome Will Arnold\, head of Climate Action for the Institution of Structural Engineers in the UK to share the journey that the UK has been on over the past few years. \nFrom within our own SESOC Sustainable Design Task Force\, Jared Keen and Nick Carmen will then share their presentations from the SESOC 2021 Conference focussing on how we as structural engineers can make a positive contribution through our projects. \nQ and A for the speakers will run after the presentations. \n\n\n\n\nWill Arnold\, Head of Climate Action\, the Institution of Structural Engineers \nWill leads the IStructE’s response to the climate emergency\, bringing sustainability action into all aspects of its work. He is responsible for driving change within the profession\, setting the minimum sustainability standards for institution members\, producing sustainability publications and training to support this\, and collaborating across the wider industry as it moves towards zero emissions. Previous to his work with the institution\, Will was a practising structural engineer at Arup for 10 years where he was responsible for key aspects of ambitious architectural projects across the world. \n  \nWill is chair of the Construction Industry Council’s 2050 Group\, and an active member of The Edge thinktank\, the UK Built Environment Advisory Group\, and the Engineering Advisory Group for The Structural Engineer magazine. He also sits on the judging panel for The Structural Awards. In 2021\, Will was presented with the President’s Award by the Institution\, in recognition of his work instigating change in the field of structural sustainability.\n\n\n\nEmbodied Carbon in Structural Design   \nNick Carman – Mott MacDonald NZ \n Based on some recent experiences and projects quantifying embodied carbon for buildings in Aotearoa-New Zealand\, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the motivation behind studying embodied carbon\, fundamentals of LCA for buildings and typical results from recent studies\, from the viewpoint of an engineer entering into the world of LCA. \nA few key areas of uncertainty are discussed\, such as appropriate steelwork embodied carbon factors (ECFs)\, comparison between as-designed and as-constructed measures\, and whether the use of timber to decarbonise a project is a silver bullet. \n  \nNick Carman is a Technical Director within the Built Environment sector at Mott MacDonald\, with a strong focus on sustainability and  low-carbon design brought about by collaboration.  He has worked on projects throughout Australasia\, the UK\, the Middle-East and Canada\, but his favourite work remains that in his home of New Zealand.\n\n\n\nChallenges and Possible Solutions for Structural Engineers Seeking to Make a Positive Contributions to the Climate Emergency \nJared Keen – BECA \nAs the construction industry\, and the society within which we operate\, seeks mitigations to our present climate emergency\, structural engineers are seeking ways to transform from part of the problem\, to part of the solution.  In this presentation\, Jared examines the barriers that face practicing engineers in the meaningful implementation of low-carbon structures\, and how those barriers might be hurdled\, either by individual design teams\, or by the industry at large. \n  \nJared Keen is a Technical Director at Beca.  As a practicing structural engineer he has delivered major projects throughout New Zealand\, the United Kingdom and Europe.  He is the current IStructE New Zealand branch chair\, and an industry affiliate for QuakeCore.  He has a particular interest in sustainability and low damaged design and has delivered multiple timber projects in New Zealand\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Aftermath of Disaster in Christchurch - Christchurch Presentation
DESCRIPTION:SESOC is pleased to invite you to attend Helen Trappitt’s presentation\, The Aftermath of Disaster in Christchurch – Repairing\, strengthening and creating new hope. \nTuesday 1st June 6pm: Beca Christchurch \nRegister HERE \nHelen originally shared this presentation as keynote speaker at the virtual ASEC conference last year\, and to an audience in Christchurch in March this year as part of the Engineering New Zealand Ten Years On Commemorations. \nHer abstract poses the argument that the most sustainable building is one that is able to be restored and repaired following a disaster. After the Canterbury earthquake sequence of 2010-11 many buildings in the Christchurch CBD were demolished\, often unnecessarily. The presentation will focus on the reinstatement of five buildings in Christchurch CBD (complete or ongoing) which cover a broad range of structural forms and construction. Ultimately almost 80% of the built environment in the city centre was lost. But there were many other ways that structural engineers brought life back to the city. Helen will also share her experience in the development of several large scale public artworks\, which helped to draw people back into the city centre once again. \nSESOC member Helen Trappitt is a structural engineer\, director and shareholder at Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers based in Christchurch. She is on the Industry Advisory Board for the University of Canterbury Civil and Natural Resources Engineering department\, where she graduated with First Class Honours in 2000. Helen is a Director of Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Limited\, the joint venture company tasked with reinstating the city’s most significant icon. \nHelen specialises in the seismic strengthening of heritage buildings and has experience in this sector both before and after the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence.  She is also well respected for her expertise in helping to resolve complex residential insurance claims. \nHelen was awarded the Engineering New Zealand Canterbury Branch Award for Excellence in Service to the Community in 2018 for her pro bono work helping Gap Filler\, CoCA\, FESTA and SCAPE Public Art; and for her efforts in promoting engineering as a career at girls’ schools.  In 2019 Lewis Bradford was awarded two inaugural Engineering New Zealand ENVI awards for projects Helen steered. \nLewis Bradford has been responsible for the successful structural repair and strengthening of numerous important buildings in Christchurch. They were internationally recognised in 2019 with the IStructE award for structures in extreme conditions for the design of the new central library Turanga. \nIn a year when we remember the events in Christchurch ten years ago\, Helen’s presentation provides technical information on the strengthening and repair of heritage buildings\, the design of new buildings and large-scale public artworks\, mixed with the reality of experiencing the violence of the earthquakes and the extraordinary circumstances of working as an engineer in a devastated city as it continued to be subject to aftershocks.

SUMMARY:Design for Durability & Demonstrating Compliance to the Clause B2 Seminar
DESCRIPTION: SESOC Seminar Series \nDesign for Durability & Demonstrating Compliance to the Clause B2 – Durability of the Building Code \n Over the years durability design guidance and standards have been published which assist designers with the material selection and durability design of common construction materials. For timber and concrete\, and more recently structural steel\, the Clause B2 – Durability of the NZ Building Code now covers the majority of materials used in structures in the New Zealand environment. \nHowever\, it appears that there are misunderstandings and confusion on how designers can demonstrate compliance with the Durability clause\, which ranges from the selection of corrosion protection systems to ensuring its application within the built environment. This protection needs to be undertaken to the appropriate level of quality to meet the Building Code durability requirements. \nThis seminar will first highlight the requirements of the Clause B2 – Durability\, followed by an overview of the steel durability technical specification SNZ TS 3404\, durability of some other metals used in structural design\, the durability part of the concrete and masonry standards and durability requirements for the timber standard NZS 3604. This includes a discussion on achieving the required durability during construction\, based on the relevant standards\, including the steel fabrication and erection standard AS/NZS 5131\, the concrete construction standard NZS 3109\, the masonry Standard NZS 4230 and associated timber standards and good practice. \nExamples of acceptable solutions\, as well as case studies of when things go wrong will be given together with remedies and good practice and the seminar will conclude with the current status of the relationship between Producer Statements and the B2 Clause\, what to do in that situation and a possible pathway moving forward. \nSeminar Dates \n Christchurch\, Thursday 18 February 2021 \nAuckland\, Tuesday 23 February 2021 \nWellington\, Thursday 25 February 2021 \n To register or for more information click here to download the seminar brochure or contact us on 09 536 5410 or email us info@bluepacificevents.com

His prior experience includes many weekends spent working in the Christchurch Red Zone\, undertaking post-earthquake damage inspection\, site pre-pours\, and nine years of shallow-soils geotechnical testing experience.\nMichael’s paper is on the topic of Proactive Decision Making as a Graduate Engineer \nCharlotte Corston – Charlotte has worked as a structural engineer at BMC since graduating in 2016. During her time at BMC she has undertaken many earthquake assessments and new builds\, and is particularly passionate about heritage engineering.\nCharlotte’s paper uses the case study of the strengthening of the former Chief Post Office Building in Christchurch’s Cathedral Square to look at the workings of a project team. \nBen Westeneng – Ben is a structural engineer with three years of experience in structural design and seismic assessment in New Zealand. He also has a Master of Earthquake Engineering which investigated the buckling of gusset plates in BRB frames. His paper looked at the automation of seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings. Ben won the SESOC ESE scholarship with this paper\, and attended the SEAOC Conference in California to present the paper there. \n  \n  \n \nKeynote presenter John Hare \nJohn Hare is a structural engineer and Chief Executive of Holmes Group\, with experience working in NZ\, the UK and the US. He is a Fellow of Engineering New Zealand and NZSEE\, and a life member and past president of SESOC. John sits on a number of advisory groups\, including the steering group for the Assessment Guidelines. \nThroughout his career\, John has had extensive experience in both the design of new structures and in the assessment and strengthening of existing buildings. Following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake\, he was seconded as Principal Engineering Adviser\, firstly to Civil Defence and subsequently to the Canterbury Earthquakes Recovery Authority. \n  \nJohn’s keynote address was on the theme of Challenging our views of Seismic Risk\, and whether our established practices are still fit for purpose. \nAt the SESOC Conference this year he was awarded the SESOC President’s Award for his outstanding contribution to the New Zealand Structural Engineering profession.

SUMMARY:ESE Christchurch Technical Session
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming Christchurch ESE technical session: Ductility demands for concrete members and detailing required to accommodate them\, presented by Nic Brooke. \n  \nDate:                   Wednesday 4th September \nTime:                   Social and networking 5:30 – 6:00pm\nPresentation 6:00 – 7:00pm \nLocation:             Beca\nANZ Centre 267 High St \n                             Christchurch CBD \nRSVP:                    Click here \n  \nIn contrast to earlier editions\, New Zealand Standards since the mid-2000s have required ductility demands and consequently required detailing to be checked based on local deformations of individual elements rather than on overall displacements of a complete structure. \nThis presentation will: \n·         Overview why it is important to consider deformation demands at a member\, rather than structure\, level\, \n·         Review the reasons detailing is required in order for reinforced concrete elements to sustain large plastic deformations\, \n·         Explain the basis of the method used by the New Zealand Concrete Structures Standard\, NZS 3101 for quantifying member ductility demands\, and \n·         Demonstrate the application of this method to determine ductility demands for typical elements. \n\n Nicholas Brooke\nPhD\, BE (Hons)\, CPEng\, CMEng \nNic is a consulting engineer and Principal at Compusoft Engineering\, having previously lectured in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Auckland. He has a broad experience in analysis\, design and research related to reinforced concrete\, including having had extensive involvement in the assessment of earthquake-damaged structures in Christchurch and Wellington.  \nNic is widely involved in the structural engineering community\, being a member of the SESOC Management Committee\, Vice President of the Concrete New Zealand Learned Society\, a member of a number of ongoing research projects including the ReCast Floors collaboration\, and a frequent presenter of industry seminars. Nicholas was also technical editor and chair of the committee responsible for producing the revision for Part C5 of the assessment guidelines that was released in late 2018.

SUMMARY:CSG meeting - EPB Methodology Dave Brunsdon
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 17 April 2019\nTime: Presentation 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm\, networking & refreshments to follow\nVenue: University of Canterbury – James Hight Library – Undercroft room 101 \nThe EPB Methodology is the engine room of the new earthquake prone buildings system which came into force on 1 July 2017. The EPB Methodology provides the framework and rules for how potentially earthquake prone buildings are identified\, the scope and form of engineering assessments\, and criteria for how territorial authorities review and accept engineering assessments and decide on whether or not buildings are earthquake prone. It is essential that engineers undertaking seismic assessments for earthquake prone purposes have a good understanding of the provisions of the EPB Methodology – in particular\, what their assessments need to address and how they report their assessments to TAs. \nDave Brunsdon\, engineering adviser to MBIE’s Building System Assurance team\, will present the key points of the EPB Methodology for engineering practitioners. This will be a condensed version of the MBIE system training seminar delivered in August 2017\, but will explore additional aspects such as the treatment of interconnected buildings and use of the Assessment Summary Table template.

SUMMARY:Simplified Lateral Mechanism Analysis (SLaMA) Seminar (ChCh)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar provides guidance on the simplified lateral mechanism analysis (SLaMA) of existing buildings. The seminar aims to clarify the conceptual basis of how the approach can be used to assist in establishing the %NBS of a building. Two worked examples will be reviewed during the seminar\, making reference to relevant parts of the NZSEE detailed seismic assessment guidelines and a newly released set of guidelines for SLaMA. It is intended that practitioners inexperienced with the subject of seismic assessment will leave the seminar equipped with a better understanding of the SLaMA approach and valuable notes for later reference. \nDownload Registration form here\nSpeaker Profile\nTim Sullivan \nTim Sullivan is an Associate Professor at the University of Canterbury\, New Zealand.

SUMMARY:ESE Network – Christchurch Launch – “Things I learnt the hard way”
DESCRIPTION:SESOC is excited to announce the launch of the Emerging Structural Engineers Network in Christchurch\, following a successful kickoff in Auckland. \nWednesday 27 March\nWSP Opus\, Level 4\, 12 Moorhouse Avenue\, Addington\, Christchurch\n5.30pm networking and drinks for 6pm start \nThe Christchurch launch will be held on the 27th of March and features a panel of speakers from a range of experience levels in the structural engineering industry. Whether it be technical challenges in design or construction projects\, building relationships with clients and colleagues or the development of professional skills\, the transition from university student to professional engineer can be tough – come and learn from the experiences of those that have been there as our panellists share their “things I learnt the hard way”. \nAfter the panel session and questions\, stay for a tipple and a bite\, and a chat with some like-minded structural engineers. \nOur three panelists are: \nChris Burrell-Smith\nChris is a Chartered Professional Structural engineer and an associate and shareholder with Richards Consulting Engineers. Chris started his career in Christchurch just after the Darfield 2010 earthquake and was fully involved in the assessment and remediation of damaged educational\, commercial and residential structures from the start of his career. He has since worked on a variety of structural projects\, working closely with architects\, developers\, local authorities\, and home owners. Chris has focused on ensuring that the solutions produced are appropriate for the client and project requirements. Chris now manages the technical systems and training for 10 other engineers. \nHelen Trappitt\nHelen is a structural engineer\, director and shareholder at Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers based in Christchurch. Since graduating from the University of Canterbury with BE(Hons) in 2000\, she has gone on to become a member of the Industry Advisory Board for the University of Canterbury Civil and Natural Resources Engineering department. Helen specialises in the seismic strengthening of heritage buildings and has experience in this sector both before and after the Canterbury earthquake sequence. This led to her appointment as a Director of Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Ltd in 2018. Recently Helen was awarded the Engineering New Zealand Canterbury Branch Award for Excellence in Service to the Community\, which recognised her pro bono work with Gap Filler\, CoCA\, FESTA\, SCAPE Public Art and promoting engineering careers in girls’ schools. \nScott Davies-Colley\nA design Engineer with Holmes Consulting in Christchurch\, Scott arrived at the University of Canterbury to start his engineering degree the week of the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake. The subsequent rebuild in Christchurch has formed a large part of his engineering career. With the immense extent of work required for the rebuild of a city\, Scott has had opportunities to work on a vast array of projects. These have included heritage URM buildings\, green field site projects such as Rolleston Secondary School and recently a new multi-storey low damage base isolated office building at 2 Cathedral Square. This has provided an opportunity to see projects through the complete process\, from concept design to completion of construction. \nFourth speaker will be confirmed shortly. \nFollow the link below to RSVP to the event: \n  \nhttps://goo.gl/forms/pQ4gcdYb7vtXeXOl2
