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: Design of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for Residential and Light Commercial Applications

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This six-hour course provides an introduction to and guidelines for utilizing structural insulated panels (SIPs). The course will examine the properties and development of SIPs, analyze the thermal envelope and R-value, explore structural code provisions and design concepts, and discuss onsite construction and assembly.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to review the history of SIPs, their composition and physical properties, manufacturing methods, and R-value calculations.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to understand the onsite construction and assembly of SIPs, including sealant and adhesives, floor-to-floor framing, and foundation, top-plate, corner and panel connections.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to discuss structural code provisions (prescriptive, engineered, and performance-based) and the design of walls.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to explore design concepts for floors and roofs, including static transverse bending, long-term bending, span tables, and multi-span considerations.

LUs: 6.0                                                                                            LU Type: LU|HSWs.
