The objective of this course is to assist a licensed design professional, practicing structural engineers, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers, and|or building officials how to understand the structural design and construction of falsework and educate the engineer for designing and building safe systems that are economically efficient and within the project’s budget. The importance of this course lies in the fact that there are not a sufficient number of references dealing with this topic especially the falsework systems are used on almost every construction site worldwide, so the course was designed to be a guide for the structural engineers. This course is intended especially for the practicing structural engineer, though it will also be useful for building officials, educators, and students.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (20) questions to earn 4 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire file.
