Course description
This course prepares consulting structural engineers and steel fabrication engineers for the design of connections in ductile Seismic Force Resisting Systems in steel-framed buildings to the requirements of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and Clause 27 of CSA Standard S16-09. The critical connections in the design examples developed for the Seismic Design of Steel-Framed Buildings course are used.
Capacity design requirements, now well entrenched in Clause 27 of S16-09, have virtually revolutionized the design, detailing and construction of connections for seismic applications. These requirements make it almost impossible to design Seismic Force Resisting Systems in isolation since the overall behaviour of these frames is highly dependent on the configuration and proportioning of these connections. The course will take participants through the detailed design of connections for moment connections covered in the CISC publication "Moment Connections for Seismic Applications", links and brace connections in Eccentric Braced Frames, tension-compression brace connections, tension only brace connections, etc.
The presenters will also highlight major changes introduced in Clause 27 of CAN/CSA-S16-09 as they relate to connection design.
Who should attend?
• engineers interested in the design and fabrication of steel buildings
• code enforcement engineers
• professors and lecturers involved in teaching steel design courses
