  This course examines the legal and technical boundaries between statutory minimum building codes and the legal Standard of Care for engineers. A broad understanding of the Standard of Care - the legal benchmark used to evaluate professional skill, performance, and negligence and the requirements of the Building Code will be identified. Through comparative analysis and real-world case scenarios, participants will explore the critical intersections and misalignments between statutory building codes and professional legal expectations. The session discusses the merits of design briefs as a critical risk-management tool to align client expectations, define technical thresholds beyond basic code, and protect design professionals from professional negligence claims.

  at One World Observatory

  BLACK TIE ATTIRE

  Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate 30 years of SEAoNY and the people, partnerships, and ideas that have shaped the structural engineering community in New York.

  Since its founding in 1996, SEAoNY has brought engineers together to advance the profession through education, advocacy, leadership, mentorship, and connection. This milestone is more than a celebration of the past three decades. It is a tribute to the members, volunteers, leaders, firms, and industry partners who have helped build a stronger and more connected profession.

  Set against the breathtaking backdrop of One World Observatory, the 30th Anniversary Gala will be a special opportunity to honor SEAoNY’s legacy, reconnect with colleagues, celebrate shared achievements, and look ahead to the future of structural engineering in New York.

  As part of the celebration, SEAoNY is developing a historical retrospective highlighting the organization’s origins and growth over the past 30 years. We are currently collecting:

  • Photos from early SEAoNY events
  • Stories from founding members and past leadership
  • Memories of milestone projects or initiatives
  • Archival materials or documents from SEAoNY’s early years

  If you have anything you would like to contribute, please send it to admin@seaony.org.

  SEAoNY Sustainable Design Committee Presents:

  Demystifying Embodied Carbon Assessment

  Using the New SEI Prestandard 

  
  

  DATE: Tuesday, November 3, 2026

  TIME: 12:00 - 1:00 PM

  Zoom Webinar

  
  

  This presentation introduces the workflow for conducting an embodied carbon assessment, a specialized form of life cycle assessment. It will walk through the essential steps, highlight critical goal-setting and scoping considerations, and identify key decision points practitioners must navigate throughout the process. The newly released SEI Prestandard for Assessing the Embodied Carbon of Structural Systems will serve as a central reference, providing guidance and structure for the assessment approach.

  2026 AISC TR Higgins Lecture:

  Fracture Beyond Fatigue 

  DATE: Wednesday,  December 9, 2026

  TIME: 6:00 - 8:00 PM 

  The Center

  208 W 13th Street

  Room 301

  New York, NY 10011

  Join us for the 2026 T.R. Higgins Lecture and explore fracture behavior in steel structures beyond traditional fatigue-based expectations.

  This year’s lecture will examine liquid metal assisted cracking (LMAC) and constraint-induced fracture (CIF)—two distinct mechanisms that challenge conventional approaches to fracture and offer important lessons for detailing, fabrication, and long-term structural performance.

  Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your understanding of fracture considerations in structural steel!

Her research has addressed some of the most pressing challenges in structural engineering, including fatigue and fracture performance of steel infrastructure, constraint-induced fracture in steel bridges, and innovative structural retrofit strategies for a wide range of structures. Bennett has led national projects with the Federal Highway Administration, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center, and several state departments of transportation, delivering solutions that extend the service life of structures and improve infrastructure performance. She serves on AISC’s Committee on Research as well as the TC10 Materials and Fabrication Committee. She recently served on AISC’s Game Changer panel. She also contributes to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Steel Bridge Task Force and Transportation Research Board committees, strengthening connections between research and practice.
