Why Use Displacement-Based Seismic Design Even in Areas with Low Seismic Activity? Many engineers wonder about the benefits of applying a Displacement-Based Design (DBD) approach in regions where earthquakes are less likely. Here are several key reasons why it's beneficial: ??Advanced and Practical: DBD combines our current best knowledge with straightforward analytical methods. It's both advanced and easy to use. ??Better Understanding of Structures: Using DBD helps engineers gain a deeper understanding of how buildings respond to lateral forces. This knowledge can significantly improve structural designs whether for wind or earthquake. ??Performance-Based Design: With DBD, engineers can design buildings that is optimised to meet the safety and performance levels needed by clients and communities. This makes buildings not just safer, but also more effective. ??Cost-Effective: By optimizing design while keeping a high safety measures, DBD can substantially decrease the amount of construction materials needed, thus reducing costs. ??Sustainable: By using less materials, DBD contributes to more sustainable building practices and minimizes the need for future retrofitting or demolition. Isn't this what every engineer looks for in a design philosophy? DBD ensures not only resilience but also sustainability and cost-effectiveness in structures. Attached is a step-by-step guide on DBD for Dual Wall-Frame Structures—a highly efficient and resilient system that deserves more attention. The contents are largely based on the influential work by Priestley, Calvi, and Kowalsky (2007). For those interested in going deeper, I recommend a thorough read of the book. Stay tuned for more detailed guides on applying DBD to various structural systems. ??

Because of transportation limits, storage and ease of use, reinforcement bars need to be cut, and then joined (spliced) back together on a construction site. Reinforcement splicing definitely is not a new thing, but its good to remember what types of splicing there are, and when they are used. More on that you can check in NS Drafter's new blog: https://lnkd.in/daJaixcv #blogpost #rebardetailing #bim #rebarsplicing #construction

Case Study Situation: During a lab-to-cleanroom conversion, #FlintcoAustin Senior Superintendent Rod Nelson noticed a discrepancy. The structural steel at the ceiling depicted in the plans and design model didn’t match the visual as-built condition of the building. The model showed a flat roof. Rod saw something different. Rod’s ability to spot discrepancies in the field against plans or a BIM model comes with experience. Addressing issues immediately by deploying the right technology illustrates another Flintco differentiator.
