When: Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007
2 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. CST, 11 a.m. PSTSummary: Explore the role of 3-D modeling, GIS, GPS machine control, and 3-D laser scanning in civil engineering. Shanon Fauerbach, P.E., editorial director of CE News, and Todd Nochomson, CAD Systems Manager for Miller Legg, will host a free one-hour virtual seminar, revealing the results of a recent research project and providing insight from a savvy technology professional. They will discuss how the civil engineering community is using these technologies and what future expectations are for their use. Nochomson will provide a user perspective, sharing his experiences with 3-D modeling and thoughts on the other technologies discussed. This presentation will be more in-depth than the article presented in the November issue of CE News, so if you are interested in these technologies, don’t miss it! Read more…
The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) of ASCE is hosting a Symposium on Egress Stairs in High-Rise Buildings, May 15 in New York City. The symposium will feature a series of presentations by leading experts discussing both human and construction factors in the designs of egress stairs, offering participants insights into the future of high-rise buildings and egress stair construction. Cooperating organizations include The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP) and the Building Security Council (BSC). This symposium is geared primarily to high-rise building architects and engineers, as well as those responsible for the safety occupants in future and existing buildings.
