Wind and Seismic Design of Two-Way Concrete Slab Systems: Part 1
This web seminar discusses wind and seismic design for two-way concrete slab systems, including flat plates and flat slabs. This topic is more complicated than one might expect, and in order to clearly go over the design requirements, the web seminar is divided into two parts. Everything is explained through an example. Part 1 is devoted to wind design and Seismic Design Category (SDC) B seismic design. The challenge in determining the effective beam width for lateral analysis purposes is discussed. Moment transfer by flexure and the corresponding reinforcement requirements are explained. Moment transfer by shear and the complications arising out of the resulting additional punching shear are discussed. Relevant ACI 318-11 and ACI 318-14 sections are cited.

Dr. S. K. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ASCE, SEI, ACI, and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He is a former member of the Boards of Direction of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in recent earthquakes.
