The structural design of high-rise building design is complex, multifaceted and often requires the utilization of high-end analysis and design software tools. Following the philosophy of ‘never run a program without first knowing the answer’, this This webinar presents ‘hand tools’ and rules of thumb for estimating the design and behavior of high-rise structures. Diverse structural system types will be presented as well as comprehensive hand calculation methods to be able to understand the behavior of a high-rise structure. This practical approach will be convenient for both concept planning and checking the final computer output. A special segment on ‘how to avoid pitfalls’ will present common mistakes in laying out a high-rise structural system that can lead to major problems; this section can be critical in helping ‘getting it right’ the first time. In addition to information on lateral load resisting systems, the participant will gain knowledge in floor framing systems, structural quantities vs. height, creep and shrinkage behavior/compensation, and an understanding of the intricate human response to the motions of high-rise structures.

Lawrence Novak is the Senior Director of Structural Engineering & Codes for the Portland Cement Association. Prior to joining PCA, he was an Associate Partner with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill where he had the opportunity to be involved with the engineering for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. He serves on several technical committees, including the ACI 318 Code committee, the ACI committee on Sustainability of Concrete and the ASCE 7 committee on Building Loads. He has served as Director on the governing board for organizations including SEAOI, TCA and the Illinois Engineering Hall of Fame. Novak was selected as the 2010 “Centennial Lecturer” in engineering and he was named the “Citizen Engineer of the Year” by the Illinois Chapter of ASCE. In 2011 he was named the “ACI Educational Speaker of the Year” and in 2017 he was presented with the “ACI Education Award” for his “unique ability to convey concrete knowledge and inspire others to greater heights”.
