Welcome to the 2017 Summit!Welcome to Washington, D.C. and the 2017 Structural En-

gineering Summit. This year’s Summit is not only NCSEA’s highest attended, it is showcasing our most extensive educa-tion sessions and hosting the largest trade show in our history. This is a great way to celebrate NCSEA’s 25TH year of bringing structural engineers together.On Wednesday, the Summit kicks off with a Welcome Re-

ception for all attendees at 5:30 pm. Thursday morning begins with a Delegate Interaction Breakfast hosted by our Communications Committee, which will be followed by the keynote address. Presented by Martina Driscoll and Ter-rence Paret from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., the keynote will discuss the 2011 seismic event that occurred in Mineral, Virginia, and its effect on the DC area.After the keynote, a panel discussion will be held on how to improve ASCE/

SEI 7, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Oth-er Structures. Your panel ists will be Ron Hamburger, John Hooper, and Don Scott, some of the best minds in our industry. At the conclusion, there will be breakout meetings affording you the opportunity to provide feedback directly to the engineers working on the code. After lunch, we will break into three tracks, one of which has been specifically designed for Young Engineers.Thursday evening will conclude with A Celebration of Structural Engineering

hosted by Computer & Structures, Inc., at the National Building Museum. This is one of the most impressive public spaces in our nation’s capital, and the evening will be a unique celebration of structural engineering, including din-ner, champagne, cocktails and live music.Friday will be another great day at the Summit. It begins with a Delegate

Collaboration Session, hosted by the Communications Committee, and Prod-uct Presentations from the trade show exhibitors. After that, there will be two education tracks for the remainder of the day. One will be technical in nature and the other will cover the often-overlooked side of our profession, with topics such as networking, engagement, equity, client develop ment, contract negotia-tions, and accounting/financial systems. Friday night is the NCSEA Awards Banquet that will recognize the winners of the Excellence in Structural Engi-neering Awards.On Saturday morning, NCSEA holds its Annual Business Meeting. This will

give you a bird’s eye view of what is happening within the other Member Or-ganizations, the NCSEA committees, the NCSEA Board of Directors and staff. Thanks for making this the biggest and best Summit ever!

9:00-10:00 Keynote: Shaking Up DC - The Insiders’ Story Martina Driscoll, P.E. & Terrence Paret Columbia 5-8 In 2011, the Washington Monument and the Washington National Cathedral were subjected to ground shaking from the Magnitude 5.8 Mineral, Virginia earthquake, whose epicenter was roughly 80 miles from the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Both experienced significant damage, which highlights the particular seismic vulnerabilities of monumental masonry structures subjected to modest ground shaking. The presentation will cover a broad range of topics related to these iconic damaged structures including some fascinating historical aspects, seismological background, post-emergency response, earthquake damage survey methods and survey results, seismic vulnerability analysis, repair designs, construction administration and lessons to be learned from the Mineral earthquake about low probability events in the Eastern U.S.

Martina Driscoll has been involved in a wide variety of projects including forensic investigation of existing facilities, repair document preparation and oversight during implementation, material failure investigation and repair, and design peer review and building enclosure commissioning on several newly constructed projects. Driscoll was also part of the WJE team that developed the earthquake damage repairs of the Washington Monument, following the 2011 Mineral Virginia earthquake. She is currently the project manager for WJE’s consulting work on the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum renovation.Terrence Paret has performed hundreds of engineering investigations focusing on the evaluation of structural performance after damaging events. Paret has authored or coauthored over 80 technical papers and has received a variety of awards for his research and practice, including the 2001 Moisseiff Award from ASCE, the 2008 AISC Presidential Award of Excellence in Structural Engineering, the 2012 Oliver Torrey Fuller Award from the Association of Preservation Technology International, the 2016 ICRI Project of the Year Award and the 2016 ASCE Region 9 Seismic Retrofit of the Year.

Members of the ASCE/SEI 7 committee Columbia 5-8ASCE/SEI 7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures has been criticized for the increases in volume and complexity following each development cycle. The Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of ASCE supports the development and adoption of ASCE/SEI 7 and has taken seriously the call from practitioners, building officials, and other stakeholders for improvements to both the process and the outcome. As the standard is poised for the next development cycle, ASCE/SEI 7 committee leadership will conduct a workshop with the goal to collect constructive feedback on how to make the loading standard more effective and efficient to use. Brief presentations will discuss the standard’s development and adoption processes, the mission of the standard as well as the new digital platform format that will be available for the 2016 edition. Topical breakout sessions collect ideas and suggestions from participants that will be reported back during the workshop conclusion.

3:30–4:30 Concurrent Education Sessions Track A Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Structures for Mitigation of Progressive Collapse Aldo McKay, P.E. Columbia 5-7Government buildings have special design requirements intended to minimize the potential for Progressive Collapse. These additional design requirements can be easily incorporated into the design of new construction with proper planning and coordination, but structural upgrades can be expensive and challenging for existing buildings. This presentation will discuss the advantages of using advanced nonlinear dynamic analysis methods to maximize the contribution of the existing structural system, including components often considered secondary elements in reducing collapse potential when performing AP analysis.

Aldo McKay is a Senior Engineer & Principal at Protection Engineering Consultants. McKay has significant experience in 3-D dynamic non-linear modeling & analysis of buildings designed to mitigate progressive collapse. He developed & validated procedures for linear static, non-linear static and non-linear dynamic analyses of complex 3-D systems for UFC 4-023-03.

Track B Applied Business Mechanics: Understanding Your Accounting & Financial Systems John Tawresey, S.E., F.TMS, F.SEI Columbia 6-8Many sources address how to help your organization succeed by instilling the appropriate personnel goals and controls. Seldom do we find information about how the business system influences the firm’s culture; yet, the business system may influence the firm’s culture more than any other factor. The seminar will discuss the powerful influence business systems have on your organization’s culture.

John Tawresey has over 40 years of experience as a structural engineer. He was the Chief Financial Officer at KPFF Consulting Engineers for 35 years and has extensive experience defending claims. He is a past president of the Structural Engineers Risk Management Council (SERMC), past chair of the SERMC Claims Committee, and past president of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.
