SESSION 5 DETAILS

April 21 | On the Fire Line: Structures Pushed to the Extreme in the Wildland-Urban Interface

Presented by: Jon Glassman, Ph.D., PE, CRE, CSQE

1 hour | 1 PDH

12:00 — 1:00 p.m. CT

Tradition and evolving hazards collide at the wildland-urban interface development, where civil engineers are forced to confront fire scenarios that challenge conventional design assumptions for both buildings and bridges. Taking an on-the-fire-line perspective, this webinar will offer practical insights that, when merged with current research, can guide resilient design of structures in an increasingly volatile fire environment.

SEAOC Webinar Series: Sustainable Design - Session 1 (April 22, 2026)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:00:00 GMT

The Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) and the SDC Committee invites you to join expert speakers as we dive into a three-part webinar series on Sustainable Design. This three-part series will take place on an upcoming Wednesday in April, May, and June at noon PT via Zoom.

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 State of the Industry

In the opening webinar of our three-part embodied carbon webinar series, we will be joined by four industry professionals from various fields. They will provide participants with a summary update on the current state of structural engineering and sustainability in the industry. Attendees will hear about AIA CA's proposed AMMR to simplify compliance via the CALGreen WBLCA performance pathway, updates on SE2050, CLF's brand new policy calculator, and updates on CARB's progress regarding their proposed embodied carbon reporting framework.

SESSION 6 DETAILS

April 28 | Fire Engineering of Steel Structures

Presented by: Michael Drury, Ph.D., PE

1 hour | 1 PDH

12:00 — 1:00 p.m. CT

This webinar will outline key structural considerations for steel structures exposed to fire, including material behavior at elevated temperatures, load effects, and common fire protection strategies. The presentation will also introduce available resources, guidelines, and analysis tools that support structural fire design, helping engineers apply these concepts in practice and integrate fire considerations into resilient structural solutions.

SEAOC Webinar Series: Sustainable Design - Session 2 (May 20, 2026)

Wed, 20 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 Myth Busting: Case Studies to Ease Your Anxieties

The second webinar in SEAOC's three-part embodied carbon webinar series will focus on myth busting inaccurate preconceived notions or perceived risks associated with specifying and designing with lower-carbon materials. Attendees will hear from three industry experts who have successfully demonstrated embodied carbon reductions through their case studies. The webinar will focus on the City of Boulder Hospital deconstruction and reuse project, LC3 use on the California Science Building, and the prefabricated straw-insulated wall by Verdant Panel.

SEAOC Webinar Series: Sustainable Design - Session 3 (June 24, 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Bring It Home: Resources for The Community

In the last webinar of SEAOC's three-part embodied carbon webinar series, we will focus on resources available to the structural engineering community to help inform and standardize sustainability principles in practice. The first part of the webinar will focus on SEAONC's intricately developed Resource Hub, a self-made wiki focused on sustainability in structural engineering resources. The second part of the webinar will focus on the recently released ASCE SEI Prestandard, which details standardized ways to model structural elements in WBLCA.
