Technology can be a key enabler in driving forward sustainability initiatives when used correctly. Whether for collaboration, automation, or delivering previously unavailable insight, the use of technological advancements can often be a game-changing tool. However, as with any tool, it is only effective when used correctly and at the appropriate time.

With the rapidly changing landscape of regulation, best practices, and societal norms, it is crucial for government and industry to implement technological assistance to strategically drive sustainability initiatives forward while avoiding the pitfalls of introducing complexity for the sake of appearing complex.

How can industry and government leaders meet the challenges head-on and transform their communities using best practice guidance developed by peers and experts in the sustainable build environment industry?

In this webinar we will dive into the value of collecting and analyzing data on a wide range of sustainability-related factors — including energy and resource use, greenhouse gas emissions, and supply chain performance — which leaders can use to help their organizations generate the deep insights they need to guide their sustainability-related decisions and initiatives and improve their overall resource efficiency.

New York Build Expo 2022 (March 2-3, Javits Center), the largest tradeshow for construction and design in New York and the Tri-state area is back bigger than ever. This industry leading show is officially supported by the State of New York and is free to attend for all AEC professionals.

The show features 300+ top-level speakers across several conference stages, AIA CES approved workshops, 250+ exhibitors, thousands of attendees, multiple exciting networking events including the largest gathering for the annual Diversity in Construction networking event, live entertainment, plus much more!

The 2020 NEHRP Provisions and ASCE/SEI 7-22 incorporate several notable changes to seismic design of diaphragms. This includes expanded applicability of the ASCE 7-16 Section 12.10.3 alternative design provisions for diaphragms, originally developed in the 2015 NEHRP Provisions. This also includes new Section 12.10.4, codifying the rigid wall-flexible diaphragm (RWFD) methodology published in FEMA P-1026, Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings: An Alternative Method. These diaphragm design provisions have been largely driven by new research, including testing and numerical studies. They have been developed to better reflect diaphragm dynamic response and deformation capacity, and to provide improved performance, in some cases with reduced construction cost.

This material will be presented in two webinars. The first webinar will provide a general introduction to seismic design of diaphragms and then focus on design examples implementing Section 12.10.3 provisions. The second webinar will repeat the general introduction and then focus on design examples implementing new Section 12.10.4 alternative RWFD provisions.

Learning Objectives – Part 1

• Become familiar with new diaphragm design provisions in 2020 NEHRP Provisions and ASCE/SEI 7-22
• Understand available diaphragm design methods and when each can be used
• Follow detailed implementation of the Section 12.10.3 Alternative Design Method
• Understand how designs using the Section 12.10.3 provisions compare to the traditional design method

The 5-day conference joining the former CORROSION and Coatings+ events into the new AMPP Annual Conference + Expo. This newly merged event will feature a robust program of technical symposia, forums, workshops, standards and administrative meetings, student poster session, networking events and a full exposition with a large equipment display.

The frequency and severity of flood-inducing storms is projected to rise over the next several decades, placing a premium on the need to adapt now and better prepare communities for current and future impacts of climate change. 

The State Resilience Partnership, a network of organizations committed to support state planning and implementation efforts—convened by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the American Flood Coalition—conducted first-of-its-kind research on resilience and adaptation planning in the U.S. Please join us for a conversation with our research partner, the Urban Institute, and state Chief Resilience Officers to discuss how state governments across the country are rising to the challenge with long-range adaptation plans and integrated resilience efforts across sectors.
