Speakers
Travis Welt
Assistant Professor at the University of St. Thomas
Mr. Welt has spent his professional career working on projects ranging from single-family residential design to design of floating offshore production facilities, specifically focused on steel stiffened plate hull design. As a structural design engineer (Shell International Exploration and Production), he developed a risk-based inspection philosophy for the largest (upon installation) floating production facility in the Gulf of Mexico, and led many brownfield projects including subsea developments and flowline pull-ins (to existing floating production facilities). Mr. Welt’s research career has focused specifically on seismic behavior of reinforced concrete structural walls. Through large-scale experimentation, he has isolated inconsistencies with classical analytical models for confined concrete as compared with modern design, and influenced changes in the building code accordingly. Mr. Welt is a member of ACI 369 (Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Concrete Frame Buildings) and ACI 374 (Performance-Based Design of Concrete Buildings), and is a registered Professional Engineer.

Course Title: Minnesota Structural Design Loads under the ASCE 7 Standard
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This six-hour live lecture presentation 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: 6.0 LU Type: LU|HSWs.
Prerequisites: Experience with design and constructions
Advance Preparation: None
Program Level: Intermediate
Course Expiration Date: 07/15/2024
