Course description
This course is intended to provide understanding on design theory and the rationale behind code provisions as well as the application of specific Code formulae and requirements. It will cover the design of seismic resisting systems for steel-framed buildings to the requirements of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and the pertinent provisions of CSA Standard S16-09.
NBCC 2005 introduced very substantial technical changes, including a new subsection on Earthquake Load and Effects. NBCC 2010 introduces refinements to the way earthquake loads are calculated, some new SFRS and revised limitations on existing SFRS. In turn, S16 has modified many requirements in the seismic design clause, provided additional SFRS options, including buckling-restrained braces and plate walls with holes, and incorporated requirements for use of Conventional Construction for taller buildings in areas of moderate and high seismicity.
The course will include an overview of the subsection on Earthquake Load and Effects and other new NBCC provisions that affect seismic design of steel-framed buildings. The presenters will also highlight major changes introduced in Clause 27 of CAN/CSA-S16-09.
New topics include ductile plate walls, buckling-restrained braces and higher limits for conventional construction. Updated topics include tension only braced frames, concentrically braced frames, ductile eccentrically braced frames, Type LD moment resisting frames, ductile moment resisting frames, notional loads, P-delta effects, and diaphragms. .

• engineers interested in the design of steel building
