The objective of this course is to assist a licensed design professional, structural engineers, consulting engineers or a licensed general contractor on how to understand the performance of common structures subjected to various types of static and dynamic loadings, and the role of ductility in improving it.

Learning Objectives

1. All structural distress & failures under various loading conditions.
2. Ductility provisions in structural design regarding various loading conditions.
3. Importance of ductility for prevention of structural failure of the structures
