COMPLETE CONNECTION DESIGN REPORTS SDS/2 provides long-hand calculations of all designed connections, which simplifies the verification process. Scan the QR code to view an example of SDS/2’s automatically generated calculation design reports. CLASH PREVENTION FULL JOINT ANALYSIS Instead of choosing a connection from a library, SDS/2 designs the connection for you, based on parameters that you establish at the beginning of a project. All connections SDS/2 automatically designs will comply with the connection design code standards the user chooses. SDS/2 checks for interaction with other connections within a common joint. That means adjusting connections for shared bolts, checking driving clearances for bolts, sharing, adjusting and moving gusset and shear plates when required, and assuring erectablity of all members. All adjusted connections are automatically verified based on selected design criteria.

Neil Pasricha wants to share all of them with the world. What started as a hobby to try and help Pasricha feel better about life is now an Internet phenomenon and has gathered over 45 million views. Pasricha’s goal was to post one awesome thing every weekday for 1,000 consecutive weekdays over four years. He posted his final Awesome Thing on April 19, 2012. His book, The Book of Awesome, is a #1 international bestseller currently released in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, India, Korea, New Zealand, the UK and United States. It spent over a hundred weeks on the paperback bestseller list, after a year on the hardcover list. Pasricha has followed up on that success with another international bestseller, The Book of (Even More) Awesome, and national bestseller The Book of (Holiday) Awesome. In 2012, Awesome made its way to #3 overall in The Globe and Mail’s annual “Full Year Bestseller List” for non-fiction. 1000 Awesome Things and The Book of Awesome point out universal feel-good signposts that help us stay afloat in troubling times. Pasricha’s uplifting lists serve not as fluffy distractions or placating gimmicks, but as reminders of why “life really is awesome after all” (The Guardian) and how we can enjoy it to its fullest by focusing on the things that fill us with joy. As a speaker, Pasricha brims with passion and charisma and tells audiences how focusing on awesome has helped him through tough times and can help change your perspective on life. Pasricha conducts seminars to teach groups how to bring awesome principles to life in their organization. Pasricha’s TED Talk, “The 3 A’s of Awesome”, has over 1.2 million views. He has been featured by CNN, BBC, CBS, MSNBC, CBC, NPR, The Guardian, The New Yorker, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Sydney Herald, China Daily, The Jakarta Post, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Slate, The Gayle King Show, Martha Stewart Living, The Huffington Post, and WIRED. Engineers, Fabricators, Detailers, Erectors •KEYNOTE T.R. HIGGINS: STATICS, STRENGTH, DUCTILITY, AND THE UNIFORM FORCE METHOD K2 F 12:30 p.m.–2:00 p.m. 1.0 PDHs Hall G Speaker: Larry S. Muir, AISC Larry Muir has been involved with structural steel in one form or another for over 20 years. He was awarded the T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award based on his paper “Designing Compact Gussets with the Uniform Force Method.” His lecture will use this topic as a starting point to explore more generally the use of the lower bound theorem of plastic analysis. Simple examples will illustrate the benefits and limitations of this powerful but often overlooked tool. Engineers, Fabricators, Detailers, Erectors www.aisc.org/nascc Final Program • 9 SHORT COURSES •NEGOTIATION AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT SC1 W 8:00 a.m.–noon 4.0 PDHs Rm. 716A Speaker: C.J. Larkin, Washington University Law $275 AISC, CISC, IMCA and SSRC members $400 non-members In this short course, we will explore negotiation skill development and tools for conflict management. The course will be divided into two parts: 1) Negotiation styles and strategies and 2) Conflict Analysis and Management. In addition to lecture, discussion and materials, demonstration and role-playing will enhance the concrete and practical benefits of the training. Negotiation: Using actual negotiation scenarios, participants will focus on developing optimal strategies and approaches to promote collaborative deal-making. You will learn how to polish your own negotiation style, preparation and process, as well as learn to recognize and respond to those of your opponent. There will be some review of Myers Briggs Temperament Sorter as a aide to discussing how personality, communication and decision-making styles impact negotiation. (Participants are invited to submit any scenarios or most difficult negotiation issues they have encountered.) Conflict Analysis and Management: You will learn to increase your sales and your management success by learning to identify the sources of conflict with staff, project colleagues, customers and clients and how to deal with them successfully. Barriers, resistance and frustration in your workday can be anticipated, prevented or removed by asking the right questions, gaining perspective and brainstorming better solutions. Conflict always has an interpersonal element and a history. You will learn methods to identify the causes and possible cures of conflict. Checklists will be provided for analyzing conflicts and for possible approaches and solutions. Through examining common problem scenarios engineers, erectors, fabricators and detailers encounter, you will develop or enhance your own style of dealing with these issues for win-win outcomes. (Participants are invited to submit their own conflict descriptions for review and discussion.) Conflict prevention and management tools will be presented. An overview of informal and formal dispute resolution methods will be provided, including Conflict Coaching, Ombuds, Dispute Review Boards (DRBs), Arbitration and Mediation. A detailed list of resources will be provided and reviewed. Materials will be provided which can be used in training sessions within your company to increase the conflict competence of your team.

Join us Wednesday night on the “Streets of Toronto” for an introduction to the tastes of Canada’s largest city and an exploration of the latest wares for the design and construction industry. This year’s Welcome Bash takes place in the exhibit hall (plus the adjacent hall) and features food from Toronto’s many neighborhoods, including Little Italy, Greektown, Chinatown, Little Portugal and Germantown. Plus there’ll be live music and strolling entertainers. It’s a chance to experience the metropolis without leaving the convention center! All full registrants are invited to join the festivities while also exploring the many offerings from the conference’s 200+ exhibitors. •THURSDAY NIGHT FREEDOM This year’s Steel Conference is set in the heart of Toronto, one of North America’s most exciting cities. We’ve set Thursday night aside as an opportunity to explore the restaurants and nightlife in this exhilarating urban center. Whether you’re interested in fine dining or something from Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, a culinary feast awaits. And when you’re done eating, check out one of the city’s fabulous bars, pubs or nightclubs. Many exhibitors will be holding special events and AISC will offer a casual hospitality suite beginning at 9:00 p.m. for those who want some late-night snacks or to catch up on the latest scores. www.aisc.org/nascc SITE AND FACILITY TOURS The facility tours are sold out. Please visit the registration desk to add your name to the waitlist. Tours depart and drop off from the Ceremonial Entrance of the South Building of the convention center. •IRONWORKERS TRAINING FACILITY TOUR W 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (includes a boxed lunch) Ironworkers have a knack for building soaring towers and bridges spanning thousands of feet. But how does an Ironworker go from an apprentice to a fullfledged journeyman? Join Iron Workers Local 721, Toronto; the Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust (IMPACT); and AISC on a tour of the Ironworkers Training Facility to get a behind-the-scenes look at how Ironworkers become “cowboys of the sky,” hoisting steel beams, tying rebar, welding…and much more. •CONSTRUCTION SITE TOUR: QUEEN RICHMOND CENTRE WEST W 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. The Queen Richmond Centre West is an extremely unique building project. To accommodate an incredibly tight site, the project called for an 11-story reinforced concrete office tower to be perched atop of three, 70-ft-tall architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) “delta frames.” This also allowed for the adaptive reuse of two existing heritage buildings. The construction site tour and presentation will focus primarily on the design and construction of the delta frames, which feature massive 35,000-lb cast steel nodes. Also discussed will be the “table-top” steel platform, which was designed to integrate with the reinforced concrete tower above. The delta frames are primary elements of the gravity and lateral force resisting systems for the building. Due to the extreme magnitude of loading, the delta frame members and cast nodes are concrete filled for composite action while intumescent coating provides fire resistance.

Thornton and Patrick Fortney, Cives Engineering Corporation Part 13 of the AISC 14th Edition Steel Construction Manual provides free body diagrams of admissible force distributions, based on the Uniform Force method, in concentric vertical braces framing into beam-column joints. At the beam-to-column connection, the axial force taken through the beam end connection is considered to be the sum of the resultant horizontal force acting on the connection (Hc) and the required transfer force. As the joint rotates due to frame action, a distortional force is induced at this location which always acts in the opposite direction of the Hc term, effectively reducing the total axial force acting on the connection. This presentation discusses how to minimize the design axial requirements on the beam end connection by accounting for such frame action.

It may seem counterintuitive, but there are multiple ways to fit a steel I-girder bridge. Generally, different “fit conditions” are selected to offset or compensate for (to different extents) the tendency of the I-girders to twist or lay over under the self-weight of a skewed and/or curved bridge. For many bridges, the construction and design behavior is insensitive to the selected fit condition. However, some bridges are indeed sensitive to this decision. Therefore, understanding fit conditions and making the best fit choice can be important for achieving a successful I-girder bridge project. This session will introduce NSBA's new white paper, which presents an overview of the topic and offers recommendations regarding best practices for selecting the fit condition. Also, a discussion of how the designer's camber calculation method may interact with the fit decision. Finally, a case study on design decisions made to accommodate construction of a two-span bridge with a 70° skew.

Fisher, Computerized Structural Design; Larry Griffis, Walter P Moore; Thomas M. Murray, Virginia Tech Two categories of limit states must be considered in the design of structures: strength and serviceability. Strength limit states control the safety of the structure and are well defined in building codes and specifications. Serviceability limit states define the functional performance of a structure. Serviceability limits states have few codified standards yet often control the successful design of a structure. Learn about serviceability considerations and design approaches from experts on the subject.
