From peter at centralohioasce.com Wed Sep 5 21:25:21 2012 From: peter at centralohioasce.com (Peter Narsavage) Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 22:25:21 -0400 Subject: [Central Ohio ASCE] Lichtenstein Distinguished Lecture - William F. Baker Message-ID: Lichtenstein Distinguished Lecture - William F. Baker Date & Time: Fri, 09/14/2012 - 1:50pm - Location: Robert Smith Seminar Room, Physics Research Building, 191 W. Woodruff Ave., Columbus OH 43210 *THEORY IS PRACTICAL: The Philosophy of Design* The founders of modern structural engineering created structures that were inspiring in their form and economical in their execution. While this economy was undoubtedly driven by financial pressures, it was also a result of the ideological purity of the design. Best exemplified by structures such as Brunel?s Royal Albert Bridge or Paddington train shed, this structural clarity demonstrates high design skill, as complicated structural designs were simply beyond an engineer's ability to calculate. However, within the past few years, the explosion of computational power has enabled engineers to design and create structures that are extremely complex and beyond one's ability to comprehend without the aid of a computer (some are conceptually unfathomable even with a computer). Our modern analytical tools can yield a more efficient structure than one achievable through simpler means, but these same tools can also enable the creation of overly complicated structures that are financially and materially expensive. From designing bridges to designing buildings that are bridges, Bill Baker will propose a design philosophy to ?bridge? the divide between design and analysis. Speaker: William F. Baker, Partner in Charge of Structural Engineering, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP Throughout his distinguished career, Bill has dedicated himself to structural innovation. His best known contribution is development of the buttressed core structural system for the Burj Khalifa, the world?s tallest man-made structure. While widely regarded for his work on super tall buildings, his expertise also extends to long-span roof structures, such as the Korean Air Lines Operations Hangar and the Virginia Beach Convention Center, as well as specialty structures like Broadgate-Exchange House and the GM Renaissance Center-North Lobby. He received the CTBUH Fazlur Rahman Khan Medal in 2008, the Fritz Leonhardt Preis award in Germany in 2009, the Gold Medal from the U.K. Institution of Structural Engineers in 2010, and the ASCE Outstanding Projects and Leaders (OPAL) Lifetime Award for Design in 2011. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2011. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nigel Carter, Turner Construction Presentation: The presentation will cover the construction of the Radiation Oncology Vaults at the New OSU Wexner Medical Center James Cancer Hospital currently under construction. The radiation vaults are located between the 2nd and 4th floor of the hospital at a height of about 45 to 65 feet above the ground level and are the largest suspended vaults ever constructed in the United States. Bill Feltz of Anderson Concrete will give a presentation on the production of the heavyweight concrete used for the cast-in-place portion of the radiation shielding vaults. The heavywieight concrete had a unit weight of 260 pcf and needed to be pumped into place. Nigel Carter of Turner Construction will give a presentation on the construction of the radiation vaults. Particular attention will be given to the challenges presented by the decision to locate the vaults on Level Two of the Hospital and the constructability issues associated with this design decision. Time: 5:30 PM - Registration Begins 6:30 PM - Dinner Begins Approximately 7:30 PM - Presentation Begins CPD Hours: A certificate for one (1) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) will be issued at the conclusion of the program.

Ballroom C-D Free parking in the visitor's lot on the south side of the building Speakers: Travis White, PE, SI Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Presentation: The City of Columbus is currently removing the 5th Avenue Dam from the Olentangy River. The dam, 500 feet wide and 8 feet tall, was initially constructed in 1935 to provide a constant pool for the cooling water intake at The Ohio State University power plant. The power plant no longer requires cooling water pumped from the river; therefore the pool created by the dam is no longer needed. The impounded segment of the river, extending several thousand feet upstream of the dam, is not meeting use attainment goals set by the Ohio EPA. Removal of the dam and restoration of the Olentangy River will result in net improvements to water quality and aquatic community composition and further efforts to meet future use attainment goals. In this presentation, we will discuss the history behind the project; the multi-disciplinary, collaborative effort that addressed the various facets of the project; and provide an update on the current status of the construction.
