| Dave K. Adams, S.E.
Mr. Adams has been with Lane Engineers, Inc. since August 1990. He performs structural analysis and design for buildings and other structures of wood, steel, concrete, masonry, and reinforced plastic construction for commercial, residential, institutional, educational, and industrial uses. He also provides plan checking services for different municipalities to determine compliance of submitted documents with life safety, accessibility, fire protection, and structural requirements of current codes. Additionally, Dave has been active in the investigation of building failures and damaged structures during his professional career. He has published numerous articles, as well as a book on training graduate engineering students ,and has given multiple presentations at a variety of conferences.
While continuing his employment with Lane Engineers, Inc., Dave also serves as chair of the Advocacy Committee of the National Council of Structural Engineering Associations (NCSEA),does consulting work for the State of California Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors in the enforcement unit, and has worked several years with the California structural engineer's examination development committee. | Back to Top | | | | | Whether due to wind, low-seismic or high-seismic loading, the lateral force resisting system of a building is designed and constructed to resist racking, overturning, and sliding. It is this system that gives a building stability and defines its general behavior. Design begins with the International Building Code, which does not include all provisions but rather makes necessary reference to other technical and material standards to complete the picture. The ability to apply principles of engineering mechanics derived from all of these codes and standards is important to the practicing engineer, but knowledge of detailing requirements to guide a building’s behavior is also critical to a successful design.
The purpose of this two-day course is to provide an outline and explanation of code requirements, as well as practical measures, related to the design and detailing of lateral force resisting systems for buildings and similar structures. This depth of learning will be pursued through a discussion of system behavior, explanation of the combined use of codes and standards, introduction to design and detailing requirements, and demonstration of engineering principles through practical examples. | Back to Top | | | | | - Become familiar with important sections of the 2006 International Building Code, ASCE/SEI 7-05, and standards of design for engineering materials related to lateral force resisting systems (these books are not provided with the course, therefore the attendee may wish to bring copies for reference)
- Become familiar with detailing requirements specified in engineering codes and standards related to lateral force resisting systems
- Learn how to specify the most appropriate lateral force resisting elements based on a structure's type of construction, intended level of performance, inspection requirements, and economics
- Identify the expected behavior of lateral force resisting systems and assess how that knowledge can determine design decisions
- Examine practical examples of how to design these systems and components
- Learn how to sort through inspection and other quality control requirements of relevant codes and standards for a project
