Structural engineers attending the NCSEA 2024 Structural Engineering Summit can kick off their experience with a special preconference symposium on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas. “Existing Buildings Assessments: Lessons Learned and Best Practices for Structural Engineers” is a half-day event packed with valuable insights.
Attendees will learn about advanced investigation methods like non-destructive testing, surveying, monitoring, and scanning. The symposium will cover common structural failures in materials such as steel, concrete, wood, and masonry, and building parts like parking garages, balconies, and decks. There will also be tips on report-writing, including rating systems, assessment levels, and legal aspects. The symposium, sponsored by DEWALT, will award 4.75 PDHs to attendees.
The event is open to everyone, with a registration fee of $249 for NCSEA members and $449 for non-members. You don’t need to attend the full Summit to join this symposium. To sign up, create a profile at NCSEASummit.com/register and select “Existing Buildings Assessments” at checkout.
