What Will I Learn?
This concise course gives you practical skills to select and compare concrete, steel, and composite systems for floors, roofs, beams, columns, and lateral frames. Learn key material properties, code-based loads per ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC, plus wind and fire requirements, durability, cost, schedule, and constructability trade-offs so you can make faster, safer, and more cost-effective building decisions.
