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…
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….
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…
International Building Code – Roof Assemblies And Rooftop Structures This course is designed to provide engineers with information regarding the roof assemblies and rooftop structures section of the International Building Code. The provisions of this course govern the design, materials, construction and quality of roof assemblies, and rooftop structures. Once you complete your course review,…
International Building Code – Soils And Foundations This course is designed to provide engineers with information regarding the soils and foundation section of the International Building Code. The provisions of this course apply to the building and foundation systems in those areas not subjected to scour or water pressure by wind and wave action. This…
Structural Design of Pavements Concrete is used in many countries as a paving material for heavily loaded main highways, farm roads, public transport bus lanes, and airport aprons. Three types of concrete pavement used for roads include plain (unreinforced) concrete pavement, continuously reinforced concrete pavement, and pre-stressed concrete pavement. This course provides background information for…
