Speakers

Scott Hamel, P.E., Ph.D.

Professor and Chair, University of Alaska Anchorage

Originally from New Hampshire, Dr. Hamel completed a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and a master’s degree 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). Dr. Hamel joined the faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2011, where his current research includes the performance of plywood/polyurethane structural insulated panels (SIPs), the strength of accreted ice on piles at the Port of Alaska, and a reliability analysis of flawed wood-frame structures during seismic events. At UAA, he teaches undergraduate courses in mechanics, structural analysis and steel design, and graduate-level courses that cover loads on structures, structural reliability, advanced structural analysis, finite-element analysis, and advanced steel design.

Course Title:  Structural Design Loads under the ASCE 7-22 Standard

Delivery Method: Live Online 

Course Description: This seven-hour course uses ASCE 7-22 as a framework for understanding, calculating, and designing for various types of loads on buildings. The course focuses on dead loads, live loads, soil loads, hydrostatic pressure, wind loads, seismic loads, and snow loads.

Learning Objectives: 

Learning Objective 1: Learners will be able to identify and apply structural load types, load paths, and load combinations in accordance with ASCE 7-22.

Learning Objective 2: Learners will be able to determine dead loads, soil pressures, and hydrostatic forces based on material and site-specific characteristics.

Learning Objective 3: Learners will be able to calculate snow loads on roofs while taking into account the unbalanced, drifting and sliding nature of these loads.

Learning Objective 4: Learners will be able to apply seismic design principles, determine seismic design categories, and calculate earthquake loads for structural systems.

LUs: 7.0

LU Type: LU|HSWs 

Prerequisites: None
