Building Mechanics Course
Master the mechanical principles that keep buildings standing under every load condition. This course takes you from stress and strain fundamentals through foundation design, lateral force systems, and code-compliant structural documentation. Whether you're advancing in structural engineering or expanding your construction knowledge, you'll gain the analytical tools professionals rely on every day.

What Will I Learn?
You will learn how forces travel through structural systems and how to analyze beams, columns, trusses, and frames using proven hand-calculation methods. The course covers reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and masonry design alongside soil mechanics and foundation sizing. You will apply wind and seismic load procedures to multi-story buildings and evaluate lateral resistance systems for drift and overturning. Structural assessment and retrofit strategies for existing buildings are also included. By the end, you will be able to read, produce, and verify structural drawings and specifications that meet current building codes.
