South Conference Room
The May program will feature a panel discussion of the current City of Portland's requirements for veneer on metal studs. This typical construction of metal studs and sheathing, clad with metal panels or brick veneer, must document how the system will accommodate the buildings seismic movement without having material falling off the building. This seemingly simple requirement has significant architectural implications.
The panel will be comprised of: Jed Sampson - Section Manager of the City of Portland's Structural Engineering Group Amit Kumar - Structural Engineer with the Bureau of Development Services Dave Bugni - Structural Engineer and member of the Structural Advisory Board Steve Mortensen - Architect with YGH The panel will be moderated by Rob Kistler
If you are planning to design a brick veneer building in the city of Portland, this meeting will provide direction on how to meet the current structural requirements during the process.
