Seismic Design – Appropriate Implementation of the Overstrength Omega o Factor (12:30pm – 2pm Eastern)
12:30 – 2:00PM EDT
1.5 PDH
Speaker: Carine Leys / Odeh Engineers
Session Description:
This SEU Session will provide tools for efficient and economical design of post-tensioned structures with a focus on designs using a Finite Element Method-based solution, which is becoming the analysis method of choice for PT designs. This presentation will illustrate the benefits of FEM on PT designs, the considerations for an efficient preliminary tendon layout, and several of the basic concepts that are prerequisites for an adequate FEM-based solution.
After a brief summary of typical applications for PT structures, our speaker, Carine Magalhães Leys, will discuss code provisions, modeling procedures, and design considerations. The session will conclude with a discussion about the influence of finite element modeling procedures on results and what’s next for the industry.
