|  Dr. Bijan O. Aalami, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE
Dr. Aalami is an ASCE member, is Professor Emeritus of San Francisco State University, Life Member of the Post-Tensioning Institute, Chartered Engineer, and a Principal of ADAPT Corporation—a structural engineering firm in California specializing in design of concrete structures.
He has been actively engaged in the design and construction of numerous notable post-tensioned buildings, bridges, and special structures. A renowned world leader and teacher in the design of concrete buildings, bridges, special structures and post-tensioning, through his worldwide educational seminars, Dr. Aalami has enriched the practice of many engineers in North and Latin America, Far East, Europe, and the Middle East. His extensive publications on concrete design, in particular post-tensioning, are the principal resource for practical design of post-tensioned buildings and bridges. For the last twenty years Dr. Aalami has been the project leader of the software suite ADAPT that is serving concrete design engineers in over 70 countries worldwide. | Back to Top | | | | | Presenting the latest developments in construction, design technology,and software tools, this seminar provides you with the know-how and means for efficient, economical and expeditious designs for your post-tensioned buildings and parking structures for gravity, earthquake/wind loading. The seminar starts with the introduction of current post-tensioning systems, hardware, and construction practice. Next it covers the modern design concepts, and explains in detail the design procedures, supplanted with well documented long-hand numerical examples, along with computer application for beams, one-way and column-supported flat slab floor systems. This leads to the concepts and design procedure for earthquake prone regions, wind loading and catastrophic loads, such as blasts. Next comes the Component Technology, the state-of-the-art method for creating structural models for analysis and design of floor systems. Using Component Technology and software application, the seminar highlights the savings in design time and reduction in potential errors by integrating the design process from the architectural drawings all the way to the structural documents. | Back to Top | | | | | Seminar attendees receive comprehensive course notes and reference material including detailed design examples. - Find out about the latest developments in post-tensioning systems and construction practice, including measures for durability and low maintenance
