October 30, 2014; 9:00 – 11:30 AM Pacific Time
S. K. Ghosh, Ph.D.
Description
This web seminar follows up on the October 22nd web seminar: “Two-Way Slab Systems of Reinforced Concrete: Design for Flexure by ACI 318-11.” Design of two-way slabs for one-way shear and for two-way shear including shear due to moment transfer will be discussed with due consideration of the important topic of shear strength in two-way action provided by concrete, conventional shear reinforcement, and headed shear stud reinforcement. The design example started in the October 22nd web seminar will be continued, to show what needs to be addressed in the design to preclude shear failure preceding flexural failure, thereby avoiding catastrophic failure. The same flat plate will be designed for two-way shear including, very importantly, shear due to moment transfer.
Speaker Bio
Dr. S. K. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ASCE, SEI, ACI, and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He is a former member of the Boards of Direction of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in recent earthquakes.
