Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 20 pages
The purpose of this course is to familiarize the engineer with multihazard design. In this course, the design methods used to resist the effects of each natural hazard are discussed in the context of the design methods for the other natural hazards. This integrated approach is a key aspect of multihazard design that must be reflected in a larger integrated approach to the whole building design.
