Courses Provided by Avinash Prasad
ST-02-900W Suspension Bridge: Basic and Advanced Concepts and Structural Evaluation – 6 PDH
This live webinar presents the basic concepts in the field of suspension bridges and defines the major components of a bridges with an emphasis on suspension bridges. It also covers the structural evaluation of a bridge, the uniqueness of suspension bridges, and how to increase the service life of a suspension bridge.
ST-02-901W Tunnel Design and Cost Analysis – 6 PDH
This live webinar explores the advantages and limitations of LCCA. One major challenge is that advances in technology could render current knowledge obsolete by the end of the tunnel’s life cycle. As a result, long-term predictions made early in the project might not fully capture future realities.
CE-02-902W GIS in Engineering and Surveying – 3 PDH
This live webinar provides a practical introduction to GIS technology and explains how spatial data, mapping, analysis, and visualization are used to support better engineering decisions. It covers the major components of GIS, including data, software, hardware, methods, and people, and explains how GIS helps professionals organize complex project information, identify patterns, evaluate site conditions, and communicate technical findings more effectively.
ET-02-917W Engineering Ethics and Professional Practice – 3 PDH
This live webinar examines the ethical principles and standards of conduct that govern engineering practice, including the distinctions between ethics and personal morals and the responsibilities that set professional practice apart from an ordinary occupation.
GE-02-918W Practical Foundation Design and Geotechnical Considerations – 3 PDH
This live webinar presents practical geotechnical principles used in foundation design, including soil properties, subsurface investigations, compaction, permeability, seepage, consolidation, shear strength, bearing capacity, and settlement analysis.
PM-02-919W Advanced Construction Scheduling and Cost Estimating – 3 PDH
This live webinar presents advanced techniques for developing construction estimates and schedules for building, infrastructure, and highway projects. Participants will examine quantity takeoffs, conceptual and detailed estimates, direct and indirect costs, contingencies, profit, productivity, cost databases, indices, and the preparation of a well-documented basis of estimate.
