Building Energy Codes The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports and participates in the model building energy code development processes administered by the ASHRAE and the International Code Council. This course reviews the code adaptation process of these agencies and presents the impact that these codes have on building design and construction practices. This Building... Learn More
Seismic Design of Composite Steel Deck and Concrete-filled Diaphragms This course addresses the design of diaphragms composed of steel beams and steel deck with concrete fill. The training material is the NEHRP Seismic Design Technical Brief No. 5, which introduces seismic design of composite steel deck and concrete-filled diaphragms. Through reading, students will learn the... Learn More
Concrete Floor Slabs on Grade Subjected to Heavy Loads This course prescribes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads and is applicable to all elements responsible for military construction. Heavy loads in buildings such as warehouses include moving loads, stationary live loads, and wall loads. This... Learn More
Design of Hydraulic Steel Structures This course is intended for engineers looking for detailed guidance for designing hydraulic steel structures (HSS) by load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and fracture control. Allowable stress design guidance is provided as an alternative design procedure or for those structure types where LRFD criteria have yet to be developed.... Learn More
International Building Code – Fire Resistance Rated Construction This course is designed to provide engineers with information regarding the fire resistance rated construction section of the International Building Code. The provisions of this course govern the materials and assemblies used for structural fire resistance and fire-resistance-rated construction separation of adjacent spaces to safeguard against the...
