| 9/2/20 | Net Zero, ICF Design for Rural/Tribal Projects | Michael Laverdure, AICAE, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP (DSGW Architects) | 1 Hour |
This webinar will outline the benefits of using Insulated Concrete Forms… This webinar will outline the benefits of using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) in construction, especially in regard to Rural and Tribal projects. ICFs are a key component in DSGW’s strategy to design Net Zero projects. This presentation will show examples of ICF and Net Zero design, in particular the Fort Totten Alternative CTE School, the country’s first Net Zero school on Tribal lands in North America. The 12,500 square foot, $3.8 million net zero Fort Totten Alternative CTE School was designed to produce more energy than it consumes while ensuring to meet other standards common when designing a net zero facility. There are other net zero schools in the United States, but this new school is the first to be built on tribal land and the first in North Dakota. |

| 7/23/20 | FIU Pedestrian Bridge Collapse: Testing of Full-Size Replicas of Failed Connection | Gary J. Klein, PE, SE | 1 Hour |
WJE carried out independent studies related to the 201… WJE carried out independent studies related to the 2018 collapse of the FIU Pedestrian Bridge in Miami. Most significantly, WJE developed and tested full-sized specimens to evaluate the significance of the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB’s) finding that the construction joint between the northernmost diagonal and deck was left in an as-placed condition, rather than intentionally roughened as required by the project specifications. The webinar also describes WJE’s independent review of shear friction strength in accordance with the AASHTO Code.
The presentation describes the details of the experimental program that demonstrated that, had the construction joint been roughened as required by the project specifications, the collapse would not have occurred. Contrary to NTSB’s findings, the contractor’s failure to roughen the surface was the primary cause of the collapse. |

This presentation will cover the basics of common supplementary material… This presentation will cover the basics of common supplementary materials used in concrete. Common applications, comparisons of their properties in plastic and hardened concrete, as well as the outlook of their future use will all be covered in the presentation. |

| 7/8/20 | Introduction to Insulating Concrete Forms | John Lee, PE, LEED® A.P. and Curt Gohmann | 1 Hour |
The use of Insulating Concrete Forms or ICF’s as a structural building en… View Description The use of Insulating Concrete Forms or ICF’s as a structural building envelope has increased in recent years as building owners look to create buildings that require less maintenance while being energy efficient, quiet and, most importantly, resilient. This one-hour presentation will discuss the concept of ICF’s from design to construction while highlighting the many benefits for the designer, contractor, owner and occupant. Attendees of this course will see a variety of project types and learn why ICF’s were chosen over other building materials. |

In some states, fly ash is specified for all concrete structures. Several regional shortages in the past few years coupled with increasing EPA regulations and plant conversions from coal to natural gas has put the future of fly ash in question. This presentation will go over where the fly ash industry is today, what is being done to help with supply, and what is being done to help ensure a strong fly ash market for the future. |

The presentation will concentrate on changes in owners expectations such as low maintenance, crack free and aesthetically pleasing slabs on grade. These will be reviewed in the context of new materials, such as alternative sources of binder, Type IL cements, sinusoidal or plate dowels, and the various techniques used to increase the spacing between joints, or even to remove them completely. |

Legislative and Industry developments are addressed to inform the audience of why these concepts will likely become a part of daily lives in the near future. |
