ASEP A.CONCEPT Lecture: Seismic Detailing for Concrete Structures


ASEP Summit 2012 invites you to an A.CONCEPT lecture on:
What: LEC-04: Seismic Detailing for Concrete Structures
When: June 8, 2012
Time: 15:00-16:30 PM
Where: La Breza Hotel, QC
Who: Resource Speaker – Christopher P. Tamayo, F. ASEP, PP

About the lecture:
SECTION 421 of the latest National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2010) is devoted to the provisions related to EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT STRUCTURES.
The lecture is essentially a discussion of the salient provisions of Section 421, with the following objectives:
·    To briefly discuss the basic DETAILS of REINFORCEMENT required for structural integrity (Section 407 of the NSCP);
·      To review and integrate the relevant provisions of Section 421 of the NSCP which is sometimes referred to as Special Provisions of Detailing for a Seismic-resistant design;
·       To illustrate, through examples and practical applications, the differences i requirements between basic detailing and special seismic-detailing;
·     To bring to the awareness of design engineers, construction engineers, site inspectors, quality-assurance engineers, structural detailers, and the like of the importance of these provisions and help enhance their ability to spot probable deficiencies i n the details issued for construction so that appropriate adjustments may be carried out even before actual implementation.
