PCI Online Academy: Lateral Loads
November 4 – January 27, 2027
This online academy covers wind and seismic loads for the design of lateral force resisting systems as well as diaphragms in precast concrete structures. It reviews the requirements for force determination and the detailing per ASCE 7 and ACI 318 codes. The impacts of these requirements will be examined for intermediate precast walls and special precast walls in an example structure throughout the lecture series. Diaphragm force determination following ASCE 7-16 will be presented, including simplifying assumptions for diaphragm behavior and force transfer within the diaphragm. This includes lateral forces that a structure undergoes and the associated free body diagrams of the system. Additionally, the series offers a review of lateral force resisting system components and their interrelationship to the building code and standards with respect to response modification factors, over strength factors, and deflection amplification factors. Attendees will learn how to calculate wind loads as well as seismic loads for low to high seismic applications, including classical equivalent lateral force procedure and dynamic analysis methods (e.g., response spectrum analysis), and comprehensive design and detailing of structural components.
