This online engineering PDH course will cover the general earthquake-resistance requirements in the International Residential Code, IRC, and requirements for foundation and floor construction.
The purpose of this course is to familiarize the engineer with the basic principles of earthquake-resistant design for residential construction. Adequate construction is required in order for a structure to fair well during and after an earthquake.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to structural engineers, design professionals, construction contractors, building owners and other technical personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding in earthquake resistant design and construction.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding earthquake-resistance requirements
- Understanding IRC general earthquake limitations
- Understanding house configuration irregularities
- Understanding general foundation requirements
- Understanding required anchorage for interior and exterior walls
- Understanding general floor construction requirements
- Learning about wood-framed floor systems
- Learning about cantilevered floor systems
- Learning about structural floor sheathing
In this professional engineering CEU course, the student will review Chapters 1 to 4 of the FEMA publication "Homebuilders' Guide to Earthquake Resistant Design and Construction", FEMA 232 - June 2006 prepared by the Building Seismic Safety Council for the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the Department of Homeland Security.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty five (35) questions to earn 7 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on Chapters 1 to 4 of this FEMA publication.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.

This online engineering PDH course identifies particular weaknesses and recommends specific, practical methods with which homes can be modified to prevent failure. Ranges of costs for each particular modification are provided. The course material includes pictures of deficient building components and of earthquake damage caused by failure of the components. Safety procedures to be followed during and after an earthquake are also listed.
This 3 PDH online course is intended primarily for structural, civil, forensic and construction engineers, and would also be of particular interest to engineers serving as building officials in the military, in government agencies concerned with residential construction practices, and as consultants to insurance companies. In addition, the engineer would have an excellent background for making presentations on earthquake preparedness to civic groups, building commissions, juries, insurance companies, homeowners associations, schools, and similar organizations.
