With recent advances in computing and modeling tools, and with growing challenges in terms of increasing population, globalization, sustainability requirements, emerging technology, the practicing structural engineers and designers need to constantly develop their skills to design safer infrastructure and enhance the quality of life. The demand and complexity is rapidly increasing for built environment including accommodation, offices, and commercial areas to accommodate rapidly growing urban population. Cities and infrastructure of future will need to be denser, complex and taller.
These challenges require great expertise and computational capabilities in terms of using state-of-the-art nonlinear analysis procedures, latest computer modeling software and developing insight into the complex dynamic behavior of structures, that can enable the engineer to design building innovatively and go beyond the traditional building codes.
This two-day event (international seminar and hands-on training workshop) aims to provide an opportunity to practicing engineers, structural designers and researchers to interact, learn and gain/exchange experience about the state-of-the-art prevailing use of performance-based approach for the design and assessment of tall buildings with various experts.
Event Format
On the first day of event, experts will discuss latest structural design philosophies and performance-based design procedure, and will provide an account of recent developments and trends in the modeling, analysis and performance evaluation of high-rise buildings with emphasis on various issues, challenges and opportunities. Based on practical experience obtained from the detailed structural analysis and design of a large number of high-rise buildings, experts will also share some important insights into the nonlinear and dynamic behavior of buildings and will provide useful recommendations for an effective design and enhanced structural performance against wind and earthquake loads.
The second day will focus on hands-on training sessions for various software and computational tools required to carry out performance-based design. Apart from practical demonstration to conduct various analysis procedures, emphasis will also be given to the interpretation of analysis results.
