CISC offers seismic design courses for steel-framed buildings

DCN News Service

The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) is offering courses in Toronto Dec. 3 and 4 dealing with seismic design and seismic connections for steel-framed buildings.

The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) is offering courses in Toronto Dec. 3 and 4 dealing with seismic design and seismic connections for steel-framed buildings.

The institute said the seismic design course is intended to provide an understanding of the design theory and 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. New systems are introduced.

The seismic connections course, a new 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.

Registration information is available at:
