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:Implementation of FRP Anchor Research in Seismic Strengthening - Prof. Scott Smith & Ravi Kanitkar
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION: “From Research to Practice: Implementation of FRP Anchor Research in Seismic Strengthening” by Professor Scott Smith and Ravi Kanitkar \nWhen – 5.30pm – Tuesday 16th April 2019 \nWhere – Room: Eng 1401-401 (School of Engineering Building 401)\, University of Auckland. Access from Symonds Street (Refer attached City Campus Map) \nAgenda – \n17:30 pre-presentation refreshments \n18:00 presentation \nPlease register to attend this presentation by sending a blank email and RSVP only in the subject box to aucklandstructuralgroup@xtra.co.nz \nAbstract \nAs the use of externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement (EBR) systems for the retrofit of existing concrete structures becomes more prevalent\, engineers and researchers are focusing on the use of FRP spike anchors to enhance the efficiency of EBR systems. This presentation focuses on the recent advances on the investigation of FRP anchors and describes how FRP anchors have been utilized in several field applications and the design of the anchors. The presentation offers a unique perspective that combines the academic and practicing engineering viewpoints. \nBiography \nScott Smith is Foundation Professor of Engineering and Dean of Engineering at Southern Cross University\, Australia\, and he has held these positions since 2013. His research interests encompass the application of advanced composite materials to civil infrastructure and he is Senior Vice President of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC). Scott is also an Editor for Construction and Building Materials and an Associate Editor of the Australian Journal of Civil Engineering. He holds fellowships with the International Institute for FRP in Construction\, Engineers Australia\, American Society of Civil Engineers\, and The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. \nRavi Kanitkar has more than twenty years of experience in the design of new structures and the retrofit of existing structures. His focus has been on the solution of unique problems for a variety of structures\, ranging from seismic retrofit of existing buildings and bridges to the rehabilitation of infrastructure\, such as large diameter pipes and tanks\, which has been degraded due to environmental damage like corrosion. His interests include new technologies such as energy-dissipation for improving structural seismic performance and carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) for strengthening existing structures. He is a voting member of the American Concrete Institute Committee 440 which writes the state-of-the-art design guides for the use of FRP in the United States. Ravi is a licensed engineer in several US states. Ravi has authored many publications dealing with the use of new technologies for rehabilitation of existing structures and has presented his work at conferences world-wide.

DESCRIPTION:SESOC Emerging Structural Engineers Network invite you to the above presentation being delivered in Auckland in April. \nWednesday 3 April 2019\nUniversity of Auckland – Faculty of Science\, 302-G20\nNetworking from 5.30pm\, Presentation from 6pm followed by food and drinks \nPresented By Andrew Thompson – Technical Director at Holmes Consulting. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will use a case example to showcase a range of interacting behaviours\, design considerations and staging issues in concrete component design – illustrating a few of the key skills expected of a competent design engineer in reinforced concrete design. \nThe case example used will be the design of a series of conventional (non post- tensioned) reinforced concrete transfer beams in the Commercial Bay development. The transfer beams span over the CRL tunnel\, and are used to support basement structure and columns from parts of both steel framed and concrete framed buildings above\, which form part of the low rise retail component of the development. Whilst the example chosen may be a seemingly innocuous part of a project which delivered numerous greater challenges elsewhere\, it is a convenient way to step through a few different aspects of reinforced concrete design. This includes: \n\nWhat are “deep beams”?\nConventional plane sections bending/shear theory\, versus strut and tie\nSeismic design actions (including SESOC guidance recommendations)\nComposite sections (for unpropped construction)\nCalculation of deflection\nConsideration of shrinkage and creep\nStaged construction considerations (and how these considerations differ in concrete and steel construction)\nPour sequencing and pour methodology for flatness and levelness\nManagement of sensitivity/uncertainty\nCrack control from applied loads\nEarly age and thermal cracking in concrete\nRoles and responsibilities in design and construction\, and communication\n\nOpportunities will be taken where possible to touch on some of the wider applications of the above considerations (beyond the case example)\, and the literature/methods available to tackle them. It is hoped that attendees will leave with an enhanced awareness of potential considerations required in areas of reinforced concrete design\, other than seismic.

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

SUMMARY:Prof. Jack Moehle - Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings\nProf. Jack Moehle \nEd and Diane Wilson Presidential Professor of Structural Engineering\, University of California\, Berkeley \nAbstract\nWe live in a time when social\, environmental\, and economic factors in the Western United States favour the development of urban centres populated by high-rise buildings. The design of this new generation of high-rise buildings has benefited from the advancement of performance-based design methods in which structural engineers characterize expected performance for hypothesized earthquake shaking using computer simulation. The design approach has evolved rapidly – whereas a decade ago each project had its own\, project-specific basis\, today the designs are guided by a set of consensus standards. The seminar will describe the performance-based design approach and will illustrate it through the example of a tall building design in San Francisco. \nBiography\nJack Moehle received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and joined the U.C. Berkeley faculty in 1980. From 1991 to 2001 he was Director of the Earthquake Engineering Research Center at Berkeley\, and in 1996 he became founding Director of the multi-university Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center\, where he served until 2008. He has played a leading role in the development of building codes and professional engineering guidelines for the design of new construction and the assessment and rehabilitation of seismically vulnerable existing construction\, including Guidelines for Evaluation and Repair of Masonry and Concrete Walls (FEMA 306); Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings (FEMA 273 and ASCE 41); Development of Next-Generation Performance-Based Seismic Design Procedures for New and Existing Buildings (FEMA P-58); and Guidelines for Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings (Tall Buildings Initiative\, PEER). He has been a member of the ACI 318 Building Code Committee since 1989\, Chair of the Seismic Provisions subcommittee from 1995-2014\, and currently serves as the ACI 318 Chair. He is also author of the textbook Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings published by McGraw-Hill.

SUMMARY:ASG Presentation - Transforming Construction by Prof. Campbell Middleton
DESCRIPTION:Where – Faculty of Engineering\, University of Auckland Street Level Foyer\, Symonds Street\, (Room ENG1439 / 401-439)\, Auckland.  \nAgenda \n17:30 pre-presentation refreshments \n18:00 presentation \nPlease register for this event online at: \nConstruction Transformation \nAbstract \nIt is a very exciting and challenging time in the construction sector in the UK at present. There is considerable uncertainty over the likely outcome of Brexit\, concern at the underlying causes of the recent collapse of the construction company Carillion\, and ramifications from the inquiry into the Grenfell tower block disaster. At the same time\, the UK government has recognised the very significant economic benefits that could be generated by improving the productivity and performance of the construction sector. As a result\, the government has announced a new “Transforming Construction” initiative which commits £170M of government funding\, matched by £250M from industry\, to create new construction processes and techniques. Much of this funding will focus on the development of offsite manufacturing\, digital engineering and improving productivity and skills. This presentation will give an overview of these recent developments and look in more detail at the opportunities. \nBiography \nProfessor Campbell Middleton \nLaing O’Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering & Technology\, Department of Engineering\, Cambridge University \nProfessor Campbell Middleton is the Director of the Laing O’Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering & Technology in the Department of Engineering at Cambridge University.
