What will I learn?
The Structural Design Course gives you practical skills to plan grids, coordinate drawings, and prepare clear design assumptions for small public buildings. Learn how to define loads, select lateral systems, trace load paths, and apply key U.S. codes. Use proven rules of thumb for sizing members, foundations, and diaphragms while improving constructability, documentation, and coordination with other disciplines.
