| 4/12/23 | Design for Resilience and Sustainability | Andy Horgan (Nudura Systems, Inc.) and Jim Schneider, LEED AP (PCI Mountain States) | 1 Hour |
Resilient design of buildings in the twenty-first century is imperative … Resilient design of buildings in the twenty-first century is imperative given increased intensity and frequency of extreme adverse climatic events. Buildings must withstand environmental impacts to their exteriors while simultaneously protecting the occupants within and maintain operational functionality.
In this presentation we will discuss how to incorporate concrete construction systems as a sustainable building assembly option to meet the challenges of designing and building energy efficient and resilient structures that can withstand most, if not all natural disasters.
Architects, Engineers, General Contractors and Building Owners will gain a thorough understanding of concrete structural system benefits, including thermal envelope performance, design integration, construction processes, and renewable energy resources for consideration and implementation into overall building envelope design and construction. |

| 10/13/20 | ACI 360 – Design of Slabs on Ground | Scott Tarr, PE, FACI (North S.Tarr Concrete Consulting) | 2 Hours |
There are five commonly used procedures for designing industrial floor s… There are five commonly used procedures for designing industrial floor slabs. All of them are effective when their recommendations and details are followed. So, how does a designer choose the best method for a particular floor? The most common approach is to determine the type of floor construction needed for expected loading conditions. Then, from the design procedures, select the most appropriate method for determining floor thickness, reinforcement, joint spacing, and other details. This presentation will discuss the ACI 360 “Guide to Design of Slabs on Ground”. It will briefly address the planning, design, and detailing of slabs. Background information on design theories is followed by discussion of the types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing. Some worked design examples for various types of concrete slabs-on-ground will also be covered. |

| 11/18/21 | Ethics - Why Do Good People Do Bad Things? | David Schultz (Hamline University) | 2 Hours |
Why do good people and organizations act unethically? Architects and eng… Why do good people and organizations act unethically? Architects and engineers may confront ethical dilemmas in many forms during their professional practice, especially in the public arena. Many think that only unethical people do bad things, and that ethical people generally do not do bad things. However, the reality is that is often not the case, and this presentation will discuss why good or ethical people often act unethically. In this program, attendees will examine the Minnesota Rules of Professionalism and Ethics and examine examples of ethical dilemmas in professional practice. Specific case studies will be used to provide a foundation for an analysis regarding how the fostering of ethical diversity and thinking about one's personal ethics within organizations can prevent the slippery slopes that lead to administrative evil or unethical behavior. |
