Seismic Analysis and Design of Steel and Reinforced
Concrete Buildings
Description
To apply effectively the seismic provisions of the National Building Code
of Canada NBCC05, structural engineers need a thorough understanding
of the fundamentals of earthquake engineering including ground motionseismology, structural dynamics, concept of capacity design, inelastic
behaviour of various materials, and seismic design and detailing. This
course provides an opportunity to learn the basic principles and practices
of analysis and design of earthquake-resistant building structures. Static
and dynamic analysis of buildings using advanced computer codes is
presented. The course covers seismic design and detailing of steel and
reinforced concrete buildings.
Objective
To provide mastery of seismic analysis and design of buildings as well
as a clear understanding of seismic provisions of the NBCC05.
Who Should Attend

Deep Foundation Design, Construction and Testing with
Related Case Histories
Description
Over the past twenty-ve years, major changes have occurred in the deep
foundations industry. New improved methods have been developed for
installing all types of deep foundations, increased loads are being used andnew quality control procedures have been developed. For driven piles,
higher loads are being achieved with new hammers, dynamic quality control
methods have been adopted, wave equation analysis is being widely used,
and higher strength materials are becoming common. Auger-cast piles are
being used with increasing frequency, high capacity drilled shafts are being
utilized more frequently and new design and specications have been
adopted in many codes and specications. This course presents modern
design procedures for deep foundations and discusses latest developments.
Practicing professionals
Objective

Design of Equipment Foundations
Description
Design of Equipment Foundations considers the type of loads (staticand dynamic) induced by the various types of machinery, modes of
structural response of the foundation and/or supporting frame, as wellas the response and damping provided by the soils. The course cov-
ers fundamentals of machine dynamics for derivation of the applied
loads, behaviour of different types of rigid block and pile-supported
foundations, analysis and design of tabletop structures for equipment
support, machine foundations on frozen soils, vibration damageassessment and prevention. Practical examples implementing theintroduced principles are included.
This course will enable you to design equipment foundations using
software such as Excel and common nite element packages withoutresorting to custom design software. This promotes better understand-
ing and control over the results and adaptability of the design for
changing design parameters.
The access to a laptop computer during the seminar is benecial but notessential.
Objective
To provide participants with up-to-date knowledge of different types
of foundations for equipment under all types of dynamic loads.
Who Should Attend
Civil, structural, geotechnical, mechanical, industrial and plant engineers
as well as consulting engineers and other individuals who deal with
the analysis and design of equipment foundations and want to acquire
a working knowledge of the current design practice.

Design and Analysis of Earth Retaining Walls
Description
Modern retaining structures that support soils at slopes steeper than their
angle of repose, are constructed of a broad range of materials, such as
masonry, mass concrete, reinforced concrete, pre-cast concrete, timber,metal, and geo-synthetics. Retaining walls are classied based on
their styles, such as gravity walls, semi-gravity walls, cantilever walls,
counter-fort walls, crib walls, reinforced soil walls, sheet-pile walls
and braced excavation. Regardless the type and material of an earth
retaining structure, two requirements must be satised in the design,
i.e., the external stability and internal stability under various loading
and environmental conditions. In this short course, the theoretical
aspects of retaining structures are studied rst, followed by the analysis
and design of common earth retaining structures. Students will practice
the analysis and preliminary design of common earth retaining walls.
Objectives
To explain the theoretical principles so participants can assess the internal
and external stability, select design criteria and carry out preliminary
design.
Who Should Attend
Engineers, technologists and technicians practicing geotechnical,
structural, environmental, municipal and transportation engineers,
designers, architects, construction managers, contractors, infrastructure
inspectors, owners and other technical personnel interested in the design,
analysis, assessment and rehabilitation of earth retaining structures.
Prerequisite
The participants should have basic knowledge of soil mechanics
(typically offered in the 2ndor 3rdyear civil engineering programs in
universities and community colleges).
