This two-hour webinar will present the seismic design requirements of the National Building Code of Canada 2015 and Clause 27 of CSA S16-14 as these requirements apply to industrial buildings. Seismic base shear calculations will be presented for an example mill-type industrial building in Vancouver, Edmonton and Montreal. The results of Equivalent Static Force Procedure and Dynamic Analysis Procedure (Response Spectrum Analysis) for the example building will be presented and compared. The choice of Seismic Force Resisting Systems for industrial buildings will be discussed and the requirements for each will be highlighted.
Annex M of CSA S16-14 will be introduced. The provisions of Annex M extend and modify the requirements of Clause 27 of CSA S16-14 as these requirements apply to industrial structures which do not resemble buildings. Seismic Force Resisting Systems, redundancy, damping, effective mass, methods of analysis and vertical earthquake effects will be reviewed.
Who should attend?
- Engineers involved in design of steel structures to resist seismic forces.
- Educators involved in teaching design of steel structures to resist seismic loads.
