Virtual Event
Virtual Event Virtual Event

This session will explore the importance of well-defined Asset Registries and precise Asset Definitions in the development and implementation of digital twins. It will introduce new concepts, methodologies, and standards for structuring and managing asset information to support the integration of enterprise systems. By enhancing these definitions and registries, organizations can optimize asset data usage, […]

Addressing Workforce Shortages: How Can the Construction Industry Attract More Workers?

Virtual Event
Virtual Event Virtual Event

Only 7% of U.S. students and jobseekers actively seek work in the construction industry, according to a new study conducted by Dodge Construction Network. Despite this, the study also reveals there are several opportunities to increase that share. Join Donna Laquidara-Carr, Industry Insights Research Director with Dodge, as she discusses key findings from the study […]

Cognitive Digital Twins: A Roadmap for Evolving Operations and Maintenance in the Age of AI

Virtual Event

In this session, TwinKnowledge will discuss a new type of digital twin that has emerged with AI, cognitive digital twins (CDTs), and their implications for the AECO industry. Cognitive digital twins enable O&M workflows that are supported end-to-end by AI. They are built on top of existing digital twins; they use AI to make sense […]

Home Hardening in the WUI: An Analysis of Recent Fire Testing

Virtual Event
Virtual Event Virtual Event

As an increasing number of homes are built in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), it is important to understand how residential construction performs when exposed to wildland fires. WUI zones are the areas where wildland – forests, chaparral, grassland, etc., meet or mix with human development. Home hardening is a term used to describe purposeful actions […]

NASA’s POWER Project: Global Solar Insolation, Meteorological Parameter Data, and Web Services to Support Sustainable Building Design and Operations

Virtual Event
Virtual Event Virtual Event

The building industry is striving to adopt green solutions to make infrastructure more energy efficient to meet the 2050 net-zero climate goals. Planning requires reliable environmental datasets that are crucial in designing, building, and maintaining the global built environment, as well as other energy-related processes and investments. NASA’s Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) Project […]

Strengthening Infrastructure: Mitigating the Climate Crisis

Virtual Event

This session of the Infrastructure 2022 webinar series will highlight disaster preparation projects to address worsening natural disasters. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is the largest-ever federal investment in climate change. The IIJA earmarked $8 billion for wildfire management, $6 billion for drought management, $8.3 billion for water storage and sanitation, and $12.5 […]

Essential Infrastructure: Lifelines & Access to Internet

Virtual Event

This session of the Infrastructure 2022 series will focus on clean water, electrical grid and powerline resiliency, and closing the digital divide as it pertains to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are an estimated six to 10 million lead service lines across the country. Cities have […]

Seismic Design of Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls / Concrete Filled (C-PSW/CF)

Virtual Event

Composite Plate Shear Wall / Concrete Filled (C-PSW/CF), also known as the SpeedCore system, is an efficient seismic force-resisting system for buildings. Two types of C-PSW/CF systems are possible: coupled and uncoupled. Seismic design requirements for uncoupled C-PSW/CF systems were addressed in ASCE/SEI 7-16 and AISC 341-16, Section H7. Coupled C-PSW/CF systems are more ductile […]

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Shear Walls and Resilience-Based Design

Virtual Event

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Shear Wall Design Example Seismic force resisting systems based on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls have garnered considerable attention for use in building structures around the world for many years with standardization as a seismic force resisting system happening in the U.S. for the first time with inclusion of seismic […]

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

Virtual Event

New Multi-Period Response Spectra and Ground Motion Requirements This 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 […]
