About the presenters:
Jim Malley, is COO, Senior Principal of Degenkolb, and Chair of the AISC Committee on Specifications. Malley has over 30 years of experience in the seismic design, evaluation and rehabilitation of building structures. He was responsible for the analytical and testing investigations performed as part of the SAC Steel Project in response to the 1994 Northridge earthquake damage. Jim was also one of the authors of the PEER Tall Buildings Institute “Guidelines for the Performance-Based Seismic Design of Tall Buildings” and is heavily involved in the seismic peer review of numerous tall building projects in areas of high seismic risk including some of the tallest buildings on the West Coast. Jim has also done consulting work for the Department of Veterans for almost 30 years, acting as the Structural Engineer of Record on well over $2 Billion of construction on new construction and seismic retrofit projects.
Cynthia Duncan is Senior Director of Engineering at AISC. Ms. Duncan oversees the planning and development of AISC technical publications, including standards, manuals, and design guides. Having been at AISC for most of her career, she works with technical committees involving volunteer educators, consulting engineers, and industry representatives to develop AISC standards and manuals; most notable are the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings and the Steel Construction Manual. Her involvement began with the 1st edition Load and Resistance Factor Design Manual of Steel Construction and includes the 16th edition Steel Construction Manual.
Send congratulations!
