Building Design Professional Development Seminars in 2007 As part of ADAPT's ongoing commitment to the global concrete design community and the advancement of the application of pre-stressing technologies, Dr. Bijan Aalami has made educational and practical seminars one of the principal activities of ADAPT over the last twenty-five years. Design engineers in Panama, Singapore, Latvia and Brazil relied on ADAPT software and consulting to successfully establish the practice of unbonded post-tensioning in their countries. Dr. Aalami's qualifications as a Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at San Francisco State University, a registered Structural Engineer in California, and a Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom, together with ADAPT's extensive design experience worldwide, provides the knowledge base upon which ADAPT seminars are developed. The primary themes of Building Design seminars offered by ADAPT are:

"Excellent seminar for updating your knowledge in the field of post tensioning design and construction. It covered design as well as practical construction aspects." - Yogesh Sharma, Concept Engineering Inc., Houston, TX "Finally an engineering seminar designed for structural engineers that utilizes 'real world' design examples." - Brian Stoddard, Project Engineer, Atlantic Engineering Services, Jacksonville, FL "Instructor was very knowledgeable, a good speaker and had good experience in programming and construction. Excellent seminar." - Tomas Winkler, Project Engineer, Wilson Structural Consultants, Sarasota, FL "Excellent course for those who are involved in post tensioning design." - Todd Lesperance, Cary, IL In association with the ASCE Seminar Series, Dr. Bijan O. Aalami will be presenting the latest developments in construction, design technology and software tools, providing participants with the know-how and means for efficient, economical and expeditious designs of post-tensioned buildings and parking structures. This seminar will cover modern design concepts, and explain design procedures using both long-hand numerical examples and computer applications. This is followed by an introduction to Component Technology, the state-of-the-art method for creating structural models for analysis and design of floor systems. The seminar will demonstrate how to reduce design time and potential errors by using Component Technology and software applications, integrating the design process from the architectural drawings all the way to the structural documents. Seminar participants will learn: ASCE member Dr. Bijan O. Aalami is Professor Emeritus of San Francisco State University Life Member of the Post-Tensioning Institute, Chartered Engineer, and CEO of ADAPT Corporation, a structural engineering firm in California specializing in design of concrete structures.
