Coastal Engineering: Sea Level Rise	Course	View details Course Syllabus \| Print Syllabus Coastal Engineering: Sea Level Rise Overview/Description: At the end of this course you will be able to: Identify building techniques that can reduce damage caused by sea-level rise.List techniques used to reduce future damage to coastal-built structures caused by sea level rise and coastal erosion.Recognize the potential magnitude of increased flood loads that can be caused by rising water and the resources available for more in-depth study.Select appropriate methods to use when rebuilding damaged structures after coastal events to account for sea-level rise. Course Number: RV-11157AW
Reinforced Masonry Design	Course	View details Course Syllabus \| Print Syllabus Reinforced Masonry Design Overview/Description: At the end of this course you will be able to: Describe the approaches to both ASD and LRFD design for reinforced masonryIdentify the differences between the prescriptive limits of the building code and the design requirements for reinforced masonry for load bearing wallsIdentify the primary failure modes for reinforced masonry that require design and how to adjust the design to accommodate both axial and lateral loadsIdentify the approximate limits of loads such as wind earthquakes flood and blast and issues important to these loads when using reinforced masonry Course Number: RV-11339AW
Pier and Beam Foundation Design	Course	View details Course Syllabus \| Print Syllabus Pier and Beam Foundation Design Overview/Description: At the end of this course you will be able to: Apply the flood load provisions in ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 24 to properly design pier and beam foundations that are safe for its occupantsList the provisions updates and proposed changes to ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 24 that will affect the safety of the publicIdentify the minimum design and construction standards for pier and beam foundation design that will provide the most safety to the public.Recognize the limitations for prescriptive solutions in foundation design to assist in identifying issues that require thorough analysisState the current design methodologies for pier and beam foundation issues used for both riverine buildings. Course Number: RV-10793AW
Designing Foundation Repairs	Course	View details Course Syllabus \| Print Syllabus Designing Foundation Repairs Overview/Description: At the end of this course you will be able to: Describe when a foundation has lost load carrying capacity and becomes unsafe for building inhabitantsList the frequent causes for loss of foundation strength and failures that jeopardize the safety of building occupantsIdentify repairs for various foundation materials (masonry concrete stone wood piles etc.) to ensure a safe and efficient buildingDescribe foundation repair materials and methods that can prevent defects involving life safety and significant costs Course Number: RV-11101AW
