Architecture and Design Training

Many structural forces are placed on a building over the intended life of the structure. Natural or environmental forces, as well as man-made loads, are placed on the building. The basic design parameters outlined in the code for the design of a structure provide a minimum standard to ensure that the building withstands the forces applied to it.

In this interactive online course, you will learn about how the International Building Code regulates the structural design of buildings, as well as how it regulates the kinds of materials used in the construction of buildings.
