Construction Materials for Civil Engineering Course
This course equips civil engineers with skills to select construction materials like concrete and steel for structural elements. Using ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC standards, you'll evaluate floor, roof, and lateral systems, weighing costs, durability, fire safety, and constructability to create efficient, secure designs that save time and money on projects.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to choose and compare concrete, steel, and composite materials for floors, roofs, beams, columns, and frames. Master material properties, loads from ASCE 7, ACI, AISC codes, wind and fire standards, plus durability, cost, schedule, and buildability factors for smarter, safer building choices.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess structural loads quickly with ASCE 7 and code essentials to size members.
- Select concrete and steel grades, spans, and sections for rapid design concepts.
- Compare floor and roof options like slabs, decks, and trusses for best fit.

Your lessons are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, and I've already recommended you to others...
