SUMMARY:10 Tips for Better Designs of Low-Rise Structures (aka Low-Rise Learnings) - Queenstown
DESCRIPTION:Join our SESOC President Michelle Grand and her co-speaker Gordon Hughes as they present the 10 Tips for Better Designs of Low-Rise Structures (aka Low-Rise Learnings) \nThe seminar will provide ten tips for the better design of low- rise structures\, with a focus on commercial buildings. \nLow- rise structures are one of the most common types of designed buildings in New Zealand.  There have been multiple recent cases of structural designs not meeting requirements. \nThis seminar aims to provide practical tips to structural engineers operating in this space. \nAt the end of the seminar\, there will be a SESOC Presidents reception\, where attendees can join us for drinks and a catch-up. \nThis seminar will be from 1:00pm – 5:00 pm (registration starts at 12:30pm)\nA light refreshment for afternoon tea will be served. Food and drinks will be offered during the President’s reception between 5:00 – 6:00 pm \nThis seminar is being offered at a reduced rate for SESOC members to encourage as many members as possible who work in this space to attend\, particularly emerging engineers\, those operating in smaller practices\, or larger firms able to send more staff.  It is also conducted by the SESOC President in lieu of a president’s roadshow. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:ESE - Wellbeing and Diversity in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming event\nWellbeing and Diversity in Engineering \nSESOC Emerging Structural Engineers are excited to host a webinar on Wellbeing and Diversity in Engineering. These are two big themes that impact everyone in different ways as part of their day-to-day life as an engineer. \nWellbeing has been at the forefront in recent times with the added pressures that Covid 19 has introduced. But wellbeing is not a new idea in a deadline focused industry like engineering. Gloria Wang and Michael Geddes will share their experiences as graduate engineers\, and some of the challenges they each faced with different aspects of their wellbeing. \nDiversity has also been a big focal point of the engineering industry as a whole\, with initiatives like the Diversity Agenda engaging with companies to commit to accountability and action in this space. Hear from lecturers Charlotte Toma and Max Stephens about why this is so important\, through the lens of gender disparity. \nWhen: Thursday 2nd June\, 1 – 2pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nRegister here\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nGloria Wang\nOne word to describe how I felt as a graduate engineer: incompetent. Not loud enough\, not productive enough\, not staying late enough\, not contributing enough. I was inexperienced\, I lacked confidence\, and I doubted my ability to fit in and be accepted in the workplace. It took me two years to realise the problem wasn’t me\, I just didn’t know how to deal with the environment I was in. We’ve all had times when we just wanted to fit it\, and in the process we lose sight of authenticity. Come and listen to how my experience as a graduate influenced my sense of belonging in the workplace.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nHi everyone! I’m Gloria\, a Systems Engineer at Beca. I graduated from The University of Auckland in Chemical and Materials Engineering and started my career as a Process engineer but now work in the National Defence and Security sector. What I enjoy most about work is that we are always solving new and complex problems with people from all different backgrounds. In my spare time\, I love baking for friends\, playing tennis and binging crime dramas on Netflix.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nMichael Geddes\nOur profession\, I think you will agree\, is a meaningful and rewarding one. It is also at times challenging and demands accountability. Naturally then\, we could expect our mental health/wellbeing to be tested at various times during our careers. Graduate engineers may be  especially vulnerable to stresses as they begin to navigate the world of consulting: project deadlines\, staffing shortfalls\, challenging team dynamics and the like.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nIt is heartening to see growing awareness of mental health/ wellbeing in our industry. The aim of this paper is to stimulate further conversation in this area. Michael is a structural engineer at WSP New Zealand with 7 years of experience. Michael first presented on “mental health in the engineering profession” at the 2021 SESOC Conference. This latest presentation will cover observations on health and wellbeing in the engineering sector\, his personal experiences in a consultancy and some tips and tricks to manage wellbeing.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \nCharlotte Toma and Max Stephens\nWomen continue to be underrepresented in the engineering industry; however\, in New Zealand\, the key factors contributing to this disparity have not been analysed. This study investigated the factors that affect gender imbalance in the New Zealand engineering workforce. Barriers inhibiting and initiatives positively influencing the career progression of men and women were identified. Analysis of the results identify women are often subject to serious discrimination and stereotyping. The researchers also determined factors which would help improve gender diversity within the engineering industry in New Zealand.Charlotte Toma and Max Stephens are lecturers of Structural Engineering at the University of Auckland. This research was completed by Hannah Davidson and Lucy Devonshire in 2020. The presentation will discuss some key findings and also introduce the work underway to enact change in the Industry.

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:Emerging Structural Engineers Network – Lightning Talks
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Structural Engineers Network – Lightning Talks \nSESOC ESE are kicking off a new series of events – Lightning Talks. These events will be a chance for our emerging engineers to share the projects they are working on\, and open some discussion around challenges and lessons learned. \nThursday 13 May\nAurecon\, Level 1 Iwikau Building\, 93 Cambridge Terrace\, Christchurch\n5.30pm networking and drinks for 6pm start \nThe Christchurch launch will be held on the 13th May and features five of our emerging structural engineers. Each engineer will have 5-10 minutes to give a brief insight into a project they are working on – whether that be a technical challenge\, design overview\, construction monitoring\, or project management. \nOur presenters for this kick-off event will include: \nJoshua Cornish – Construction Monitoring at Linwood College\nJoshua is a structural engineer who has worked at Aurecon since graduating in 2017. His recent project experience with the redevelopment of Linwood College\, in particular the Construction Monitoring phase of 4 new classroom blocks\, will be the basis for his presentation. He will share some of the challenges and lessons learned as part of this process. \nSophie Woodhams – CDHB Energy Centre\nSophie is a graduate engineer with Holmes Consulting\, and has worked on a wide range of commercial structures. She is going to share her project experience on the CDHB Energy Centre\, looking at the coordination challenges the design team faced\, and the benefits and pitfalls of BIM. \nEdbert Livia – Designing a sculpture? How?\nEdbert is a structural engineer with Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers. Born in Indonesia\, he moved to New Zealand in 2015 to study Civil Engineering. Edbert will share some of the unique design challenges when it comes to sculptural design. \nBen Exton – Temporary Works Lessons\nBen is a structural engineer who has worked for both Structex and Building Revolutions in Christchurch since graduating in 2016. He has continued study in Earthquake Engineering since\, and has a keen interest in innovation in this field. Temporary works design and construction requires a combination of clear communication and risk awareness. Ben will cover some key lessons learnt in some recent temporary works projects\, including the repair of the New Brighton Pier. \nWilliam Southby – Managing a Portfolio\nWilliam has worked at Calibre Consulting since graduating in 2016. His latest project\, managing the Totalspan Portfolio\, involves managing a team of 15 engineers across the country to provide design services to the Totalspan Franchises across the country. He will share some of the challenges of coordinating people across different offices\, as well as managing quality\, timeframes\, and finances. \n  \nAfter the presentations there will be time for questions and discussion\, followed by food and drink. \nThese events will be held regularly throughout the year to give all of our ESE members the chance to share what they are working on.

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

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

SUMMARY:ESE - SESOC Conference Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:SESOC Emerging Structural Engineers – Conference Roadshow \nWhen: Wednesday 23rd October  5.30pm for a 6pm start \nWhere: Beca\, ANZ Centre\, 267 High Street\, Christchurch \nRSVP: HERE \nFollowing the SESOC Conference in August\, the Emerging Structural Engineers Network in Christchurch is bringing you a Conference Roadshow. This event is a chance to hear some of the key issues that were raised throughout the conference proceedings\, and learn more from some of the ESE presenters on what was involved. \nThe theme of the conference was “Challenging the Profession”\, and many of the speakers did just that! The roadshow will feature some presentations from the ESE conference stream\, a summary of some of the key themes shared throughout the conference\, and a presentation from keynote speaker John Hare. \nAs usual\, there will be food and drinks after the presentations. This will also be a great chance to pick the brains of those who have presented and get some inspiration for the next conference in 2021. \n  \nOur three ESE presenters are: \nMichael Simcock – Michael is a structural engineer with three years of formal experience working for Calibre Consulting in Christchurch. 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:SESOC Emerging Structural Engineers Auckland
DESCRIPTION:SESOC ESE Presents:\nDuctility demands for concrete members and detailing required to accommodate them\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. \nNicholas 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.
