Murray Date & Time: Thu, 12/01/2011 - 1:30pm Location: Robert Smith Seminar Room, Physics Research Building, 191 W. Woodruff Ave., Columbus OH 43210 Human Response to Floor and Footbridge Vibrations Floor vibrations are probably the most critical serviceability issue for steel framed buildings. Today?s more efficient floor systems together with sparse office-fit out require designers to carefully consider vibration concerns due to all types of human activity. In particular, office fit-out has dramatically changed in the last decade resulting in many floor vibration problems because of the lack of mass and damping. Rhythmic activities in office buildings, such as aerobics in health clubs, have also generated significant problems in the form of complaints from occupants elsewhere in the buildings. Equally important is the vibration, both vertical and lateral, of footbridges. Recent lateral vibration problems with footbridges in the United Kingdom and New Zealand have caused closure and required extensive retrofitting. A general overview of human response to floor and footbridge vibrations, including recommended design procedures, will be presented. Criteria in the AISC/CISC Design Guide 11 Floor Vibrations due to Human Activity and that from recently completed research will be discussed. Speaker: Thomas M. Murray, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Tom Murray is Emeritus Professor of Structural Steel Design at Virginia Tech and the principal author of the AISC/CISC Design Guide 11, ?Floor Vibrations due to Human Activity?. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics from University of Kansas in 1970, has authored nearly 200 papers, and made over 250 presentations to structural engineering groups worldwide. He has received excellence in teaching awards from the University of Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2002 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and in 2009 received the ASCE Ernest E. Howard Award.

Levy Date & Time: Fri, 02/03/2012 - 3:30pm Location: Robert Smith Seminar Room, Physics Research Building, 191 W. Woodruff Ave., Columbus OH 43210 The limits of the tallest building and the longest bridge Ever since the late nineteenth century, structures have been built higher and bridges have spanned further. In 1939 when I arrived in the United States, New York could boast having the world?s tallest skyscraper, the Empire State Building, and San Francisco the world?s longest suspension bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge. After the Second World War, these records would soon tumble as longer and taller structures would be planned and built until here we are in the twenty-first century with Dubai?s Burj Khalifa tower scraping the clouds at 828 m high and the planned Stretto di Messina Bridge jumping 5070 m across the strait separating Sicily from the Italian mainland. Have we reached too high and too far in our quest for sheer size? Have we reached the technological limit of how high we can build or how far we can span? What about Frank Lloyd Wright?s mile high tower and the tempting Strait of Gibraltar waiting to join Europe to Africa. I propose to explore the limits that technology presents us in this quest and whether there are socio-economic constraints that may outweigh mere physical limits. Speaker: Matthys P. Levy, Founding Principal and Chairman Emeritus, Weidlinger Associates Born in Switzerland and a graduate of the City College of New York, Mr. Levy received his MS and CE degrees from Columbia University. He is the recipient of the ASCE Innovation in Civil Engineering Award and three PCI awards. He was named a Structural Engineering Legend in Design by Structural Engineering Magazine in 2003. He is the co-author of the best selling book, Why Buildings Fall Down, as well as, Structural Design in Architecture; Why the Earth Quakes; Earthquakes, Volcanoes & Tsunamis; and Earthquake Games and Engineering the City. His recent book, Why the Wind Blows, a history of weather and global warming, was published in 2007. He was the principal designer for many projects including the Javits Convention Center and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, and a cable-stayed pedestrian bridge at Rockefeller University. He is the inventor of the Tenstar Dome structure, a unique tensegrity cable dome used to cover large spaces with minimal obstruction. Mr. Levy has served as an expert in forensic investigations including the World Trade Center Collapses in New York. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1996.
