Continuing Education Credit Information
This webinar offers 7.0 PDHs to professional engineers and 7.0 HSW continuing education hours to architects licensed in most states, including Alaska. Educators and courses are not subject to preapproval in Alaska.

Engineers and architects seeking continuing education credit in other states will be able to claim the hours earned at this course, in most cases. Refer to specific state rules to determine eligibility.

The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System has approved this course for 7.0 LU|HSW (Sponsor No. J885). Only full participation is reportable to the AIA/CES.

The International Code Council has approved this event for .7 CEUs in the specialty area of Building (Preferred Provider No. 1232).

Completion certificates will be awarded to participants who complete this event and earn a passing score (80%) on the quiz that follows the presentation (multiple attempts allowed).

Speakers

Scott Hamel PE. PhD

Professor and Chair, University of Alaska Anchorage
Dr. Hamel completed a B.S. in Civil Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and a master’s in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in structures at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Between degrees he worked as a bridge inspector, roadway designer, and bridge engineer in Boston and as a structural engineer in Denver designing hospitals, museums, and courthouses. After earning his license as a professional engineer in Colorado, he returned to school and completed his doctorate in Structural Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Hamel’s research was located at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in Madison and included a three-year long creep study of wood-plastic composites (WPCs). He joined the faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) in 2011, where his current research includes the structural performance of polyurethane structural insulated panels (SIPs) and the seismic performance of residential structures with deficient wood-framed shear walls. At UAA, Dr. Hamel teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanics, structural analysis, structural design, loads on structures, and structural reliability.

Course Title: Alaska Structural Design Loads under ASCE 7-16 Standard

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines the types of structural loads, general structural integrity, classifying structures, and modifying and expanding existing structures. It will also examine loads that act on structures, including dead loads, soil loads, live loads, rain, ice and snow loads, wind loads and earthquake loads.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to classify buildings and structures, identify types of structural loads, and discuss structural issues for modifying and expanding existing structures.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to determine and discuss design considerations for dead loads, soil loads and hydrostatic pressure on structures.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to determine and discuss design considerations for both concentrated and uniformly distributed live loads on structures.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to determine and discuss design considerations for wind, weather and earthquake loads on structures.

LUs:  7                                                                                              LU Type: LU|HSWs.

Prerequisites: Experience with building design and construction

Advance Preparation: None

Program Level: Intermediate

Course Expiration Date: 09/17/2024
