Purpose and Background
This webinar includes a discussion of structural investigations associated with deterioration or damage, renovation or upgrade, and alternation or adaptive reuse projects. The presentation will also include a structural investigation that was conducted for the adaptive reuse of a historic building.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Become familiar with the definition of a structural investigation and the types of investigations associated with load-carrying capacity and deterioration or damaged situations.
- Understand the importance and basic components of a written report that is always required for every investigation.
- Become knowledgeable of the three primary methods of determining the internal reinforcing for a structural in which there are no available drawings.
- Become familiar with supplemental methods of determining the load carrying capacity of an existing structure in which there are no available drawings.
- Learn of the two primary methods of dealing with an existing structure that has inadequate load carrying capacity.
- Become familiar with different methods of strengthening and reinforcing an existing structure.
- Learn how all of the above approaches were applied to the adaptive reuse of a historic building.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).
