Join the National Institute of Building Sciences in Washington, DC, as we uncover current state challenges and discover opportunities to improve capital project delivery in the digital age. The in-person workshop, with lead facilitation provided by our BIM Council leadership and distinguished partners, will bring together a maximum of 50 hand-selected AECO stakeholders to participate on focused teams. Prior to the workshop, invited participants are asked to join live or watch the recording of a 90-minute webinar and panel discussion covering industry standards and certifications that will drive the team discussions. Participants will represent their design, construction, owner, or IT solution partner stakeholder bias during team breakout sessions that will be structured to help identify key areas of impact for each stakeholder group relative to information privacy and cyber security requirements. Following the breakouts, each team will report the opportunities identified to the larger group for discussion and further validation. To close the session, all validated opportunities will be shared with the National BIM Program Steering Committee to review and recommend future actions by the National BIM Program. An education session will be held at Building Innovation 2022 September 26-28 in Washington, DC, to discuss the findings from the webinar and workshop.

Learning Objectives

As a result of participation in this session, attendees will be able to:

• Recognize and state the key impacts of information privacy and cyber security requirements to the collaborative digital delivery process.
• Explain how technology has evolved in support of collaborative digital delivery.
• Identify 3 process areas impacted by requirements supporting information privacy and cyber security.

Agenda

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

To ensure we have a collaborative and constructive discussion, the following rules will apply to each part of the series without exception:

• Clear objectives. The objective of this hearing is constructive dialog between AECO, Government Agency, and Technology stakeholders that:
  • propose shared solutions that meet project collaboration and cyber security needs.
• No sales. In line with the objectives stated above, there will be a no tolerance policy regarding the active selling or promotion of specific products or services.
• Adopt tech-agnostic terminology. While we cannot totally avoid referring to our specific technology solutions by name, team facilitators will ensure that stakeholder technology is identified by the generic application it serves for the given scenario. 
  • i.e. - “Procore'' should instead be known as the GC’s Project Management (PM) System)
• Protect client and project information. All participants are asked to refrain from using specific project or stakeholder names to protect anonymity and avoid liability.

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Shear Wall Design Example
Seismic force resisting systems based on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls have garnered considerable attention for use in building structures around the world for many years with standardization as a seismic force resisting system happening in the U.S. for the first time with inclusion of seismic design requirements in 2021 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) and in ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This presentation summarizes the CLT shear wall design example contained in the 2020 NEHRP Provisions: Design Examples, provides background on the new system, and illustrates application of the CLT shear wall system design requirements through a design example.

Learning Objectives: Participant will:

• Learn about the CLT shear wall design example appearing in the 2020 NEHRP Provisions: Design Examples
• Learn about seismic design coefficients and the associated height limits for the CLT shear wall system appearing in ASCE/SEI Standard 7-22
• Be introduced to design requirements for CLT shear walls appearing in SDPWS-21 Appendix B
• Gain awareness of application of CLT shear wall requirements for shear strength, overturing, and deflection

Resilience-Based Design and the NEHRP Provisions
This talk presents the new concepts of resilience and functional recovery as they relate to earthquake design. Referencing Resource Paper 1 of the 2020 NEHRP Provisions, it looks ahead to how building codes and design standards might begin to incorporate functional recovery time as an explicit measure of performance and basis for design. The ideas are illustrated by hypothetical application to the CLT Shear Wall design example.

• Understand resilience and functional recovery as they relate to earthquake design and to each other.
• Understand the elements of a functional recovery objective.
• Understand the precedents for resilience-based design embedded in current building codes and standards.
• Understand how the elements of current earthquake design might be adjusted to achieve a functional recovery objective

Composite Plate Shear Wall / Concrete Filled (C-PSW/CF), also known as the SpeedCore system, is an efficient seismic force-resisting system for buildings. Two types of C-PSW/CF systems are possible: coupled and uncoupled. Seismic design requirements for uncoupled C-PSW/CF systems were addressed in ASCE/SEI 7-16 and AISC 341-16, Section H7. Coupled C-PSW/CF systems are more ductile and have more redundancy than uncoupled systems, but ASCE/SEI 7-16 did not assign seismic design factors in Table 12.2-1. A FEMA P695 study was conducted to verify the design factors that should be used for such Coupled C-PSW/CF structures. Adding this as a separate category in Table 12.2-1 was important because they can be used as the elevator core wall systems in modern high-rise buildings. Two line items featuring this system are now added to ASCE/SEI 7-22 Table 12.2-1 under Building Frame Systems and Dual Systems with Special Moment Frames. R = 8, C_d = 5.5, and Ω₀ = 2.5 are the design factors in both line items. The height limits are the same as for corresponding uncoupled isolated wall systems.

A definition for the Coupled C-PSW/SF system and its design and detailing requirements were not included in AISC 360-16 or AISC 341-16. A new Section H8 in AISC 341-22 includes specific provisions for the definition and use of this Coupled C-PSW/CF system, including details on the capacity design principle limits on applicability. This presentation outlines the above developments and presents a detailed design example illustrating the Coupled-C-PSW/CF seismic force-resisting system.

Learning objectives:

• Seismic design requirements, detailing, and factors for coupled composite plate shear walls / concrete filled
• Lateral load behavior of coupled composite plate shear walls / concrete filled
• Seismic design procedure for coupled composite plate shear walls / concrete filled
• Seismic design of coupling beam-to-wall connections

This session of the Infrastructure 2022 series will focus on clean water, electrical grid and powerline resiliency, and closing the digital divide as it pertains to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are an estimated six to 10 million lead service lines across the country. Cities have been taking measures to finance projects that identify and remove the bad lines, but it hasn’t been enough. The U.S. is ranked 26^th in the world for safe drinking water and sanitation by the Environmental Performance Index. Knowing that access to clean drinking water is a basic human right, the IIJA allocated $55 billion to further reach this goal.

In January 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Building a Better Grid Initiative to make the nation’s power grid more resilient to the impacts of climate change and increase access to reliable and affordable clean energy. The IIJA earmarked $28 billion for resiliency of powerlines and over $60 billion total for clean energy.

Closing the digital divide is more important than ever in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans need access to high-speed internet for work, study, and play. Lack of access to broadband infrastructure has become an equality issue in the U.S. The IIJA will work to combat this by delivering more than $60 billion in funds to expand access to high-speed networks throughout the nation.

Whether you are a code official, architect, engineer, contractor, PMG or fire safety professional, your participation is vital in helping to develop model codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures.
