Speakers

Eugene H. Brislin Jr., P.E./S.E.

Structural Engineer in Summerville, SC

Mr. Brislin has been a professional engineer for more than 21 years and has designed many structures and performed many different types of analysis in that time. He has worked for a steel fabricator, an architectural/engineering firm and a seismic consultant, and he has been in private practice for over 13 years. Mr. Brislin earned his BSCE degree from The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina, and his MSCE degree from the University of South Carolina. He has completed all his course work for his PhD degree but has not completed his dissertation. His graduate study work has been in mathematical elasticity. Mr. Brislin has worked on a wide variety of projects from arenas such as Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Edward Jones Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, to renovation and seismic retrofit of the South Carolina State House and the design of the Columbia South Carolina Museum of Art. He has done stress analysis on weapons systems for the Department of Defense and has consulted on cellular telephone concealment projects. Mr. Brislin’s company routinely performs modal analysis of structures to provide more accurate seismic loads and to reduce the cost of seismic requirements through more advanced analysis techniques. The company is knowledgeable concerning structural dynamics and can perform a full dynamic analysis for complicated structures, and ductility requirements in concrete and masonry as well as welded steel moment connection requirements on toughness of steel.

Course Title: Cold-Formed Steel Frame Design for Small Commercial Buildings

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This seven-hour course examines cold-formed steel frame design for small commercial buildings, starting with an overview of the uses of cold-formed steel and how it compares to structural steel design and wood design. The course utilizes the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design manual and dives deep into the designs of specific components. The course also identifies and discusses the stresses and modes of failure which can affect a cold-formed steel frame building.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to utilize and reference the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design manual as a resource when using cold-formed steel in their designs.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to analyze cold-formed steel designs versus structural steel and wood designs, determine when to incorporate cold-formed steel, and discuss its capabilities and limitations.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to understand the designs of numerous components, such as beams, columns, roofs, floors, walls (bearing, exterior and shear), joists, trusses and girders.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify the stresses and modes of failure which can affect cold-formed steel framing, such as compression, bending, web crippling, and buckling (compression, torsional, and local).

LUs: 7.0                                                                                              LU Type: LU|HSWs.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with framing for small commercial buildings

Advance Preparation: None

Program Level: Intermediate

Course Expiration Date: 05/12/2025
