John C. Huang, Ph.D., PE & George Thomas, PE
This course is intended to improve your structural engineering knowledge related to housing foundation design and performance by providing state-of-the-art engineering concepts for light-frame construction. It complements current design practices and building code requirements with value-added technical information and guidance. In doing so, it supplements fundamental engineering principles with various insights that focus on improving the understanding of conventional and engineered housing construction. Thus, it will address deficiencies and inefficiencies in past housing construction practices and structural engineering concepts through a comprehensive design approach that draws on existing and innovative engineering technologies in a practical manner. It is hoped that this course will help facilitate and advance efficient design of residential housing whether built-in conformance with prescriptive (i.e., “conventional”) practices or specially engineered in part or whole. The desired effect is to continue to improve the value of engineers in terms of economy in construction and performance.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
