COURSE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Wind engineering is a relevant topic in the design of buildings especially in South East Asia where typhoons and monsoon seasons are commonplace. These can adversely affect design parameters especially for high rise and dynamically sensitive structures. This course will go through the basic design principles and considerations that are required in the design of these structures. This course will be based on the ASCE 7-13 code and will make reference to local wind codes for specific applications. In addition, wind related phenomena / disaster and case studies will be investigated to provide better perspective to participants
- Design parameters of design codes.
- Time series analysis of wind time histories.
- Stationary and non-stationary process of wind time histories.
- Time series modeling of wind time series.
- Framing system to resist lateral loads.
- Effects of wind loads to main wind force resisting system (MWFRS).
- Migration from ASCE 7-05 to ASCE 7-10 and its implications. Touching of MS1553.
- Frequencies of vibration and treatment on high-rise buildings.
- Case Study: Resonance induced wind failure on buildings in Malaysia.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Civil Engineers.
- Structural Engineers.
- Ocean Engineers.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Provide the basic design skills on wind-structure interaction.
- Provide several case studies on structural failure due to wind loads.
Equip engineers with advanced knowledge in designing various structures subjected to wind loads – symmetrical and asymmetrical structures.
Equip engineers with in-depth code treatment of wind loads on structures.
Equip engineers with the know-how on the dynamic effects of wind loads on various structures.
Create awareness to local engineers on wind effects when providing engineering services to countries experiencing abnormal wind conditions other than in Malaysia.
1. Professor Ir Dr Mohd Shahir Liew (UTP)
Professor Shahir aspires for a better tomorrow in Malaysia through the approach of sustained growth in niche capabilities and high-end knowledge areas. He believes that these are crucial for the country to reach developed nation status and strongly advocates for the scientific and engineering community to always add cutting edge dimensions to their set of capabilities and competencies.
Professor Shahir throughout his career has spearheaded several strategic initiatives in the area of competency development including being one of the pioneering groups in Malaysia to develop wind engineering competencies and was the Chairman of the National Standards MS1553 Wind Code in 1999. In this time in the Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Council (MOGSC), he has served as the Chairman of the Competency and Training Working Group identifying critical industry gaps in the oil and gas industry. His continued service as the Honourary Secretary has also seen his leading participation in the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) for the National Occupational Skill Standard (NOSS) and Sectorial Training Committee (STC-17). He is also the current Fellow of the Energy Institute Malaysia and is closely overlooking the development of niche professional accreditation tracks in Malaysia for engineers in the energy sector.
Prof Ir Dr Shahir Liew graduated from Texas Tech University with a B.Sc in Civil Engineering and Ph.D in Structural Dynamics. He is a Professional Engineer with the State of Texas and an Asean Engineer. In 2016, he became a Fellow Chartered Engineer (UK). After spending 23 years in the industry as consulting professional engineer in the USA and Asian countries, he joined UTP in 2009 as an Associate Professor. He has been the Head of Offshore Engineering Center since 2011, winning approximately RM8.5m research grants. He is currently active in engaging the industries, including Production Sharing Contractors and Tier 2 oil and gas companies. He has held several exco positions, nationally and internationally, with the NGOs and is instrumental in developing young engineers and researchers. He is committed to ensure the relevance of research and its application for the benefit of the industry and society as a whole.
Dr. Ir. Lim Eu Shawn currently serving as Head of Offshore Engineering Centre UTP, overseeing business development, consulting, technology delivery and training. 8 years serving in UTP as lead engineer to oversee bidding, planning, execution and delivery of consultancy and technology projects.Experience in training and consultancy services.
