| Description |
Well-calibrated load and resistance factors are necessary to the design process to ensure healthy long-term structural performance. In this one hour presentation, Andy Nowak, Ph.D., of the University of Nebraska discusses his research findings on updating statistical parameters for reinforced concrete beams with lightweight, ordinary, and high-strength concrete. Nowak will outline new material test data that satisfies appropriate strength reduction factors for flexure and shear. |

| Featured speaker | Andy Nowak, Ph.D., has been a Robert W. Brightfelt engineering professor at the University of Nebraska since 2005, following 25 years of teaching at the University of Michigan. He received his master's and Ph.D. from the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland. Nowak's expertise in structural reliability and bridge engineering led to major research accomplishments over the span of his career, including the development of a reliability-based calibration procedure for calculate ion of load and resistance factors. Nowak is a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, and the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers. | ||
