Building Mechanics Course
This course equips you with essential building mechanics knowledge for construction projects. Learn to analyse frames and loads, control deflections, compute shear, bending, and strength checks. Select appropriate steel sections, document all assumptions thoroughly, and produce clear, compliant calculations that ensure safer and more efficient structures in real-world applications.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in analysing building frames, beams, and columns confidently. Master defining loads, choosing steel sections, calculating reactions, shear forces, bending moments, deflections, and combined stresses, then checking against allowable limits. Practice clear documentation of assumptions, units, sources, and workings for precise, efficient technical reports.

Your classes 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... thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
