SUMMARY:New Multi-Period Response Spectra and Ground Motion Requirements\, Additional Revisions to Ground-Motion Provisions\, and Dissection of Example Changes to the MCER Ground Motion Values
DESCRIPTION:New Multi-Period Response Spectra and Ground Motion Requirements\nThis presentation summarizes a comprehensive set of new multi-period response spectra (MPRS) and related ground motion requirements of the 2020 edition of the NEHRP Recommended Provisions (and ASCE/SEI 7-22). These changes collectively improve the accuracy of the frequency content of earthquake design ground motions and enhance the reliability of the seismic design parameters derived from these ground motions by defining earthquake design ground motions in terms of MPRS. The new MPRS make better use of the available earth science which has\, in general\, sufficiently advanced to accurately define spectral response for different site conditions over a broad range of periods. Three new site classes are added to better describe site effects. \nThe new ground motion requirements eliminate the need for site-specific hazard analysis now required by ASCE/SEI 7-16 for certain (soft soil) sites. The new ground motion requirements directly incorporate site amplification and other site (and source) dependent effects in the design parameters SDS and SD1 (two-thirds of SMS and SM1) eliminating the need for site coefficients.  Site-specific values of design parameters (and corresponding MPRS) are (or will be) available online at a USGS web site and presumably at other related web sites (e.g.\, SEAOC\, ASCE and ATC web sites) for user-specified values of site location and site class. Traditional design methods (e.g.\, ELF procedure) familiar to and commonly used by engineering practitioners for building design remain the same. \nRevisions to MCEG PGA\, Vertical Component\, and Site Class when Vs Data not Available\nThe introduction of MPRS in the provisions eliminated the need for the site coefficient\, FPGA \, in Sect. 11.8.3. The USGS Seismic Design Geodatabase now provides the PGAM for the applicable site class\, and Table 21.2-1 was added to provide the deterministic lower limit PGAM\, which was formerly 0.5 FPGA . Also\, the earthquakes to be considered in computing the Deterministic MCEG Peak Ground Acceleration (Sect. 21.5.2) are now obtained from the disaggregation of the Probabilistic MCEG Peak Ground Acceleration. The new vertical (V) component provisions (Sect. 11.9) corrected the geometric mean definition of the horizontal (H) component in the V/H ratio by introducing a correction factor Fmd to account for the direction of maximum shaking. Also\, an equation was added to compute the vertical component for vertical periods\, Tv > 2 sec\, and the vertical coefficient\, Cv\, was revised to accommodate the additional site classes. Finally\, new provisions in Chapter 20 were added to determine the site class when a shear-wave velocity (Vs) survey is not conducted at a site. The procedure involves (1) constructing a Vs profile using correlations between Vs and measured geotechnical parameters\, such as SPT and CPT\, (2) computing the average Vs in the upper 100 ft (30 m)\, (3) scaling the by 1.3 and (1/1.3)\, and (4) determining the most critical site class for values of s\, 1.3 ν\, and ν s/1.3 at each period\, T\, i.e.\, select the site class that results in largest MCER Sa. \nDissection of Example Changes to the MCER Ground Motions Values\nThis presentation provides examples of the changes to the risk-targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER) ground motions from ASCE/SEI 7-16 to the 2020 NEHRP Provisions. As documented in the Commentary to Chapter 22 of the latter\, the updates to the seismic ground-motion maps stem from recommendations of the BSSC Project ’17 committee and the 2018 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM). The Project ’17 recommendations include modifications to the (1) site-class effects\, (2) spectral periods defining the SMS and SM1 ground-motion parameters\, (3) deterministic caps on the otherwise probabilistic ground motions\, and (4) maximum-direction scale factors. The 2018 NSHM updates include incorporation of (1) the NGA-East ground-motion models\, (2) deep sedimentary basin effects in the Los Angeles\, Seattle\, San Francisco\, and Salt Lake City regions\, (3) earthquakes that occurred in 2013 through 2017\, and (4) updated weighting of the western U.S. ground-motion models. At locations in 34 high-risk (i.e.\, high-hazard and/or high-population) cities\, the combined impacts of the Project ’17 and 2018 NSHM modifications on SMS for the default site class are less than 15% at all but 3 of the locations; SM1 changes by less than 15% at 23 of the locations. The corresponding seismic design categories (SDCs) change at 4 of the locations\, from SDC D to E. Most of these changes are due to the Project ’17 modifications to site-class effects or deterministic caps\, but some are caused by the other Project ’17 and 2018 NSHM updates\, particularly the 2018 NSHM incorporation of basin effects. Changes at other locations can be probed using the USGS Seismic Design Web Services.

SUMMARY:Evolution of Seismic Design Values over the Years and the 2018 Update of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model
DESCRIPTION:Evolution of Seismic Design Values over the Years \nThe 2020 NEHRP Provisions\, and ASCE 7-24 that is based on it\, adopt a new USGS ground motion model that incorporates stie class and basin effects directly into the calculation of gridded seismic design values. For the first time\, these values are available only through an on-line seismic hazard data base and are not printed in conventional maps. A review of the evolution of seismic design values over the years and the basis for adoption of the current approach is presented. \nThe 2018 Update of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model \nUpdates to the design ground motions of the 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions come from two main sources: 1) updates for the 2018 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM)\, which improved the scientific modeling of earthquake sources and ground motions\, and 2) recommendations from the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) Project ’17 committee\, which updated the design ground motion procedures. Major updates for the 2018 NSHM included: 1) incorporation of new ground motion models and site amplification factors in the central and eastern U.S.\, including the new “NGA-East” models; 2) incorporation of deep sedimentary basin effects in the four regions of Los Angeles\, San Francisco Bay\, Salt Lake City\, and Seattle; 3) relatively minor modifications to the western U.S. crustal and subduction zone ground motion models; and 4) updates to the seismicity catalogs outside of California. USGS computed the design ground motions of Chapter 22 by combining hazard results from the 2018 NSHM with the new BSSC design ground motion procedures. One of the major updates to the design procedures was the recommendation to use Multi Period Response Spectra\, which also affected the 2018 NSHM update (in particular\, decisions made in selection of ground motion models). This connection and the implications for design ground motion values will also be briefly discussed. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nThe collaborations between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) Project ’17 will be explained\, including how the recommendation to use Multi Period Response Spectra (ground motions at 22 periods and 8 site classes) affected the updates to the USGS hazard model.\nThe science behind the 2018 update of the USGS national seismic hazard model\, which was used for the development of MCER and MCEG in the 2020 Provisions\, will be outlined.

SUMMARY:Reinforced Concrete Ductile Coupled Shear Walls
DESCRIPTION:Coupled shear wall systems are recognized as distinct from isolated shear wall systems in Canadian and New Zealand codes; they are also accorded higher response modification factors in view of their superior seismic performance. ASCE 7 has so far made no such distinction. \nA ductile coupled wall system of reinforced concrete has now been defined in ACI 318-19. Issue Team (IT) 4 of the Provisions Update Committee (PUC) of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) developed a successful proposal to add four line items to ASCE Table 12.2-1\, Design Coefficients and Factors for Seismic Force-Resisting Systems\, featuring the ductile coupled wall system of reinforced concrete. The line items are under: A. Bearing Wall Systems\, B. Building Frame Systems\, and D. Dual Systems with Special Moment Frames. Based on a FEMA P-695 study\, R = 8\, Cd = 8\, and Ωo = 2.5 have been proposed in all the line items. The height limits are the same as for corresponding uncoupled isolated wall systems. Seven different changes made in ACI 318-19 for the design and detailing of special structural walls were implemented in the design of prototypes for the FEMA P-695 study. \nThe above changes appear in the 2020 Edition of NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions for Buildings and Other Structures. The changes have now also been approved for inclusion in the upcoming 2022 edition of ASCE 7\, which will be adopted by the 2024 International Building Code. \nThe proposed presentation will outline the above development\, will include relevant details of the specific changes to ASCE 7\, and importantly\, will feature a design example. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the basics of ductile coupled wall systems of concrete\nBe familiar with the ACI 318 definition of this system and understand its nuances\nUnderstand the ASCE 7-22 provisions concerning this system\nLearn how to apply this system through a design example

SUMMARY:Diaphragm Seismic Design Part 2
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nLearning Objectives – Part 2 \n\nBecome familiar with new diaphragm design provisions in 2020 NEHRP Provisions and ASCE/SEI 7-22\nUnderstand available diaphragm design methods and when each can be used\nFollow detailed implementation of the Section 12.10.4 Alternative RWFD Provisions\nUnderstand how designs using the Section 12.10.4 provisions compare to the traditional design method

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Designing a structure to resist earthquakes requires several considerations that can be ignored in design to resist most other loads. The loading is more severe\, the permissible response will usually include damage to the structure\, as well as the systems and components supported by the structure\, and the levels of uncertainty in loading and response are greater than for ordinary loads. This webinar includes an overview of earthquake ground shaking\, dynamic response to ground shaking\, and the influence of yielding within the structure on the response. These issues underlie the NEHRP Recommended Provisions\, and a good understanding of the concepts is an important first step in successful implementation of a design complying with the Provisions. \nLearning objectives: \n\nKey parameters in dynamic behavior of simple structures\nBasis and use of the response spectrum as a tool for design\nRationale for permitting nonlinear response and its significance in design\nThe difference between yield and peak resistance

SUMMARY:WEB VIRTUAL SERIES: Honoring Your Authentic Self
DESCRIPTION:During our networking session at Building Innovation 2021\, many leaders spoke about being their authentic self. How much of yourself can you really share with others at work? For example\, if you’re kindhearted\, does this come through\, or do you pretend to be someone else at work for appearances sake? Does your wardrobe reflect your true self? Is it OK to have a bad day? \nWomen in the built environment sometimes wear many hats. During this session\, we’ll break down some of these walls and talk about authenticity.

SUMMARY:WEB Virtual Series: Elevator Pitch Workshop
DESCRIPTION:What is an Elevator Pitch\, and How Can It Help Advance Your Career? \nIn today’s fast-moving\, fast-talking business environment\, sometimes you only have seconds to make a good impression. \nWe call this an elevator pitch. It’s literally 30-60 seconds (or the time you’d be sitting in an elevator) to deliver a memorable and well-crafted synopsis of your background and professional experience. \nYour pitch allows you to share expertise and credentials with those who don’t know you. When done right\, it is the best way to introduce yourself in a compelling manner. \nThis month\, we will continue the February discussion from the Women Executives in Building: Virtual Leadership Series which centered around building your personal brand. Attendees will be divided into small groups so they can learn from and practice an elevator pitch with peers. \nWho Should Attend: All female C-Suite executives in the building industry\, from association executives to corporate leaders and women–owned and operated businesses. \nEvent format: This is an opportunity for conversation with other C-Suite female executives in a safe\, thought-provoking environment.

SUMMARY:WEB Virtual Series: Building Your Personal Brand
DESCRIPTION:Building a brand for your company in the traditional way is normally something you do every day and have a marketing team to conduct the effort. \nBut building a personal brand is different – it’s promoting yourself and reminding people of your achievements and how you achieved your career success. That can be even more difficult as a female leader in the building industry\, where you are focused on simply achieving success without too much disruption. In today’s environment it is important to utilize social media to highlight speaking opportunities\, awards and other achievements to promote yourself\, your company and motivate others. \nWe often take for granted the importance of building our brand and celebrating our achievements\, but it is important. This session will allow C-suite leaders to share how they’re marketing themselves and utilizing social media to help build a brand. After the session we will share a few of these stories to encourage young women to join the industry and build their career by building their brand. \nWho Should Attend: All female C-Suite executives in the building industry\, from association executives to corporate leaders and women–owned and operated businesses. \nEvent format: This is an opportunity for conversation with other C-Suite female executives in a safe\, thought-provoking environment.

SUMMARY:WEB Virtual Series: Current Strategies that Will Help Increase Diversity and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Women in trades are daring to confront stereotypes that are still holding women back. Powerful women defying the odds in a predominantly male industry need to be aligned to increase awareness of labor shortages and lack of diversity. Most importantly\, we must come together to reach a more diverse audience\, including the young women and girls who may not consider this as a career path. \nThese monthly virtual meetings will lead up to the second annual Women Executives in Building Summit on May 5-6\, 2021 in Nashville\, TN. \nWho Should Attend: All female C-Suite executives in the building industry\, from association executives to women–owned and operated trade businesses. \nEvent format: There are no panels or programming. This is a conversation with other C-Suite female executives in a safe\, thought-provoking environment.
