2016 Structural Engineering Summit WelcomeWelcome to the Happiest Place on Earth!

On behalf of NCSEA and the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome you to the 24th NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit.

This year’s Summit kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, with a reception hosted by the NCSEA Young Member Group. At the magic hour of 6 p.m., private coaches will whisk you away to the Orlando Art Museum for a Gala Evening spon-sored by CSI. Like Cinderella’s Ball, you won’t want to miss it!

Wake up to Disney on Thursday morning with our keynote presentation by Disney Imagineer, Kent Estes, who will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the structural engineering aspects of the Disney theme parks. This will be followed by two days of top-quality continuing education with multiple tracks, so you can choose the topics that are most relevant to your practice.

Delegates will have the opportunity to meet old friends and make new friends at the Delegate Interaction Breakfast on Thursday. After the breakfast meet-and-greet, rep-resent your Member Organization (MO) in our first-ever Lego Shaketable competition. Bring your best design ideas and see if your tower can outlast your rival’s. On Friday, Delegates and MO leaders will gather to brainstorm ideas on critical topics for MOs. Saturday will focus on our Annual Business Meeting with Committee Reports and a recap of the Delegate Collaboration session.

Throughout the Summit, make sure you spend time at the Trade Show, where more than 40 exhibitors will showcase their latest software, publication and construction solutions. If you run out of time talking with the exhibitors during the day on Thursday or Friday, our Thursday night reception on the Trade Show floor will be another excel-lent opportunity to network.

Friday evening is the NCSEA Banquet and Awards Presentation. Put on your tux or evening gown and help honor the best projects and individuals in our profession.

Make sure to say hello to Jeanne Vogelzang, our Executive Director Emeritus, and share your ideas for her retirement. Then reminisce with her and tell her about your favorite story from her 20 years with NCSEA. Keep an eye out for NCSEA’s new Execu-tive Director, Al Spada, as well, and welcome him to our association. Feel free to haze him a bit too – he’s got a good sense of humor.

Thinking back to past Summits, my favorite part is meeting people and sharing ideas. This year, we have more attendees from our MOs than ever before. Take advantage of the opportunity to tap into the knowledge base of your fellow structural engineers.

Thanks for making this the biggest and best Summit ever! We’re glad you’re here.

Brian Dekker, P.E., S.E. President, NCSEA4

A) So you Want to Delegate Connection Design-How to Do It RightKirk Harman, P.E., S.E., SECB, President, The Harman Group Fantasia GAISC adopted delegation of structural steel connection design by structural engi-neers to the steel fabricator, in the 2010 Code of Standard Practice. The variability

in this practice is significant from coast to coast. Wherever a structural engineer’s documents fall in this range of practice, it is important to know what the AISC Code of Standard Practice says and how it can be implemented into the documentation of a project. Kirk Harman serves on the AISC Committee on the Code of Standard Practice. He is currently Chair of the Task Group on BIM and served as Chair of the Task Group on Quality in Steel Construction.

incorporated with ASCE 7-16 and AISC 360-16 into the 2018 IBC. The document will have significant technical modifications including new material specifications, use of steel braced diaphragms, new column splice details, changes to BRBF provisions, requirements for SCBF gusset plate welds, application of demands on columns that participate in intersecting frames and a number of other items. In addition, significant new provisions related to the seismic de-sign of multi-tier braced frames will be provided. This presentation will summarize the changes proposed for the 2016 edition of the AISC Seismic Provisions.Jim Malley has over 30 years of experience in the seismic design, evaluation and rehabilitation of building structures, and was responsible for the analytical and testing investigations performed as part of the SAC Steel Project in response to the Northridge earthquake damage. He is a member of the AISC Specifications Committee and the Chair of the AISC Seismic Subcommittee, the AWS Subcommittee on Seismic Welding Issues, and a member of the Board of Directors of EERI and the Applied Technology Council. He is a past president of NCSEA and received the James A. Delahay award in 2014.

B) Top 10 Useful Lessons for Structural Engineers Fantasia HLawrence Novak, S.E., F.ACI, F.SEI, LEED AP, Director of Structural Engineering, Portland Cement Association Typically much is written and presented about outstanding projects in our profes-

sion. Rarely do we talk about the philosophy behind the design … even rarer do we take two steps back and delve into the important life lessons which can be gleaned from a career in struc-tural engineering. What do we really do and what does the world expect of us?Prior to joining Portland Cement Association, Larry Novak was an Associate Partner with Skid-more, Owings & Merrill where he served as the lead structural engineer for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. He serves on the ACI 318 Code committee, the ACI 130 committee on Sustainability of Concrete and has served as Director on the governing board for SEAOI, TCA and the Illinois Engineering Hall of Fame.
