Purpose and Background
Up until recently, the methods for determining the seismic coefficient that have been used to design and build retaining structures have neglected important criteria. This webinar discusses a performance based methods that will help determine much more accurate seismic coefficients that, in turn, will lead to much more economical slope and retaining structures design.

ASCE will be providing a display on engineering at a State Fair youth display on a day in the period Monday August 3 through Sunday Aug. 9. If anyone is interested in helping for a day or half day in this period please contact Dave Pritchard at 614-519-4819 or davepritchard@sbcglobal.net . While Dave has hands-on displays for use, he is also interested in any new suggestions for the display that might provide good interactive opportunities. It is also interesting to see the many displays put on by other tech entities.

Lift Plans have been in use for decades, but usually have been limited to those lifts with a very high risk factor or in high risk environments. It is only natural that management may require that these documents be reviewed by a competent individual, whether in-house or third party. This competency cannot be learned overnight or from purely reading reference material. This webinar offers a basic knowledge of cranes, lifting, rigging, and lift plans that should enable an individual to gain further knowledge needed to professionally review a lift plan. Some owners and governmental bodies now require that the review of lift plans be stamped.
