COURS.

APERÇU

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Recognize inelastic behaviour and ductility of structures
• Have an introduction to the code procedures to calculate seismic loads on different structures
• Identify the main difference between NBCC 2010 and 2015 seismic provisions

Description
The National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) has evolved extensively over the years to develop a better understanding of lateral loads by learning from the damage that occurred due to significant earthquakes and from a large number of research done. This webinar provides an introduction to the significant changes in the seismic design provisions that have taken place between NBCC 2010 and NBCC 2015.

The webinar will highlight the 2015 and 2010 NBCC differences in determining seismic hazard, site effect factors, higher mode effects, and seismic base shear. The concepts and theory are explained thoroughly with conceptual examples, with no full numerical example due to time restraints.

FORMATEUR

Khaled Galal, Ph.D., ing., P.Eng.

Khaled is a Full Professor of Structural Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

He received PhD from McMaster University and his MASc and BSc from Ain Shams University in Egypt. He has over 30 years of research, teaching, and industrial experience in the design of reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures, earthquake engineering and structural dynamics, rehabilitation of facilities, and applications of fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials in structures. He received the Teaching Excellence award in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science at Concordia University. He is a licenced professional engineer in Quebec and Ontario.

He is actively contributing to the Canadian and American codes and design standards in the design of concrete, masonry, and FRP structures.
