Conference agenda.
Who attends?
More than 3,500 structural engineers, steel fabricators, erectors,
detailers, educators and others involved in the design and construc-
tion of fabricated steel buildings and bridges attend the conference
each year. In addition to conference seminars, attendees have many
networking opportunities, including the annual Fabricator Roundtable
(and this year we’ve added a Steel Industry Roundtable) where you
can exchange ideas in a non-competitive environment.
WiFi Pittsburgh!
Downtown Pittsburgh is the best place for free wireless access! It
is available for public Internet access anywhere outdoors within the
Downtown vicinity. Valid for any WiFi-enabled computer, portable or
hand-held device for up to two hours a day. If you need more time
after that, a prompt will pop up, telling you that your free two hours

K1 Wednesday Keynote
A Visual Tour of Pittsburgh's
Architecture and Engineering Heritage
Wednesday 12:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. 1.0 PDHs
Speaker: David J. Vater, RA, and Trustee, Pittsburgh
History & Landmarks Foundation
From its founding in 1758 and the construction of Fort Pitt––the
most elaborate British fortress in North America––to the world’s
first “green” convention center, Pittsburgh has been a place
of building innovation. This fast-paced visual tour will highlight
Pittsburgh’s iron and steel industry, incline and bridge-building
tradition, a cultural palace for the people, and 20-century
skyscrapers––built for both a university and major corporations.
In the presentation finale, you’ll see some of the great places
built in America with Pittsburgh steel, engineering expertise,
and technology.
K2 Friday Keynote
2011 T.R. Higgins Award Lecture
Gusset Plate Connections for Seismic Design
Friday 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. 1.0 PDHs
Speaker: Charles W. Roeder, University of Washington, Seattle
Charles W. Roeder, P.E., Ph.D., professor of civil engineering at the
University of Washington, Seattle, is the 2011 recipient of the prestigious
AISC T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award. The award is presented annually by
AISC and recognizes an outstanding lecturer and author whose technical
papers are considered an outstanding contribution to the engineering litera-
ture on fabricated structural steel.
Roeder is being honored for his paper “Gusset Plate Connections for
Seismic Design,” published in Connections VI, the proceedings of the
Sixth International Workshop on Connections in Steel Structures, held June
23-25, 2008, in Chicago. The work for which he was selected represents a
significant opportunity to reduce the size and cost of seismic gusset plates
in special concentrically braced frames. His research has provided a very
practical approach that lets the bend line in the gusset occur in an elliptical
pattern rather than the straight line approach that has been used to date.
Gusset plates will soon be more compact and more economical, too.

Speakers: Serge Dussault, Canam Group Inc.;
Steve Hofmeister, Thornton Tomasetti
Moderator: Peter Frantz, Canam Group Inc.
This session describes the particular design, fabrication and erec-
tion challenges that were all eased by an early collaboration for the
construction of the new 18,087-seat hockey arena built in Pitts-
burgh, PA for the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. The early selection
of a fabricator and erector (Structal) by the SAE (Sports and Enter-
tainment Authority of Pennsylvania) was the start of a collaborative
design and construction of this schedule-challenged project in a
busy market. The structural engineer (Thornton Tomasetti) had come
up with a light and easy-to-build structural frame that was meeting
the client's expectations. The fabricator and the structural engineer
worked together to finalize the details that can make a project a suc-
cess or a continuous battle. While the general concept remained
untouched, member types, connection types, and interfaces with
other trades were optimized for shop and field simplicity.
N68 Competing with "Wal-Mart" Detailers
Thursday 4:15 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. 1.5 PDHs
Speaker: Brad Lange, Weitz CPD
The "Wal-Mart" mentality has come to detailing. Fewer numbers of
projects along with outsourcing to other countries has made detail-
ing a mere commodity. More and more DB/CM/GC's are buying
their detailing direct. Offshore detailing firms are actually offering to
do small jobs for free! You can't, and don't want to beat their prices,
but how do you compete in a global market? During this interactive
session, we will discuss how in a tightening market, the steel detailer
of the future must diversify their portfolios, and market their products
and services to new customers. In order for detailers to maintain
their standard of living, they are going to have to offer more and/or
different solutions to a new and changing customer base including
owners and structural engineers.
N69 Erection Considerations for

Thursday 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 1.0 PDHs
Speaker: Eddie Grunewald, Barnhart Renewables
Moderator: Kenny Waugh, I.M.P.A.C.T.
Wind turbine erection presents logistical, technical and meteoro-
logical challenges to the contractor. These are often exacerbated
by the topography and physical size of a wind farm project. The
session will provide an overview of the process; from turbine com-
ponent receipt to mechanical completion. Two case studies will
be discussed by a contractor who has erected more than 1,800
utility-grade wind turbines.

campus. Begun by Chancellor John Bowman in 1926 and dedicated in 1937, the building was
realized with the help of contributions from men, women, and children throughout the region and
the world. During the peak of the Depression, when funding for the project became especially
challenging, school children were encouraged to contribute a dime to "buy a brick." In addi-
tion to the magnificent three-story "Commons Room" at ground level, the Cathedral of
Learning also contains classrooms (including the internationally renowned Nationality
