Structural Vibrations Seminar

Measurement and Monitoring of Building Vibrations from External and Internal Sources Speakers: Nathaniel Rende and Mohamed ElBatanouny, WJE Learning Objectives: Potential damaging effects of ground-borne vibrations on existing buildings and its components. Vibration limits and thresholds for different types of buildings and uses Monitoring and data analysis techniques for vibrations in existing buildings Vibration Considerations for Building Design Speaker: Melissa Wong, Thornton Tomasetti Learning Objectives: Develop an understanding of how vibration caused by external and internal sources affects a building Learn which classifications of vibration criteria are appropriate for given occupancies, and how they alone can drive the architectural and structural design of a building in certain cases Become aware of evolving tools that are used to predict footfall‐induced vibrations in a building, and the mitigation options available to control them. Wind-induced Vibrations in Structures: Mechanisms and Design Considerations Speaker: Tom Mara, CPP Wind Engineering Consultants, Inc. Learning Objectives: Develop an understanding of vibration from the context of wind-structure interaction Understand the interaction between design loads and service loads from a wind loading perspective Learn about approaches to identify susceptibility of structures to wind-induced vibration and strategies for mitigation should they be expected 3.5 CE credits $75 for members $125 for nonmembers
