Council of American Structural Engineers/Minnesota
(CASE/MN) is an organization made up of representatives of firms providing structural engineering design. The purpose of the organization is to provide a forum to improve the quality and practice of structural engineering. The group works toward achieving that goal through:
Involvement in public safety issues
- Education
- Civic involvement
- Effective use of social and economic resources
- Cooperation among building disciplines, state and local agencies
- Contacts with manufacturing groups
CASE/MN has recently published the fifth edition of the "Guideline Program for Special Structural Testing and Inspections"" and is available for downloading here. The document is intended to serve as a guideline to identify the items critical to the structural integrity of buildings and clearly outline the responsibilities of the parties involved in the design, construction, testing and inspection.
Here are two files from the May 18, 2010 Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) seminar that have been requested by some attendees:
Integrated Project Delivery: Collaboration Through New Contract Forms
