Course Title: Structural Condition Reviews and Structural Failures in New York

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course on structural condition reviews examines the process by which structures are evaluated for safety concerns and potential failures. Topics include industry guidelines and standard practices that promote building safety, types of reviews and special considerations for various levels of reviews, discussion of illustrative failures and various review scenarios, and the design professional’s professional responsibility in the review process.

Learners will be able to identify and reference industry guidelines and standard practices – such as building codes, code enforcement, special inspections, service life specifications, and condition reviews – that are designed to promote building safety.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to identify and define the types and levels of reviews, and explain how to document their findings in the structural condition review report.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to consider a variety of factors when performing structural condition reviews, including observations of physical condition, environmental exposure, load paths, design and/or construction quality confidence, potential for concealed defects, and the role of the design professionals intuition.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to discuss and reference case studies of both infamous and lesser-known failures, and apply what they have learned to various real-world review scenarios.

Learning Objective 5:
Learners will be able to handle special considerations in structural condition reviews of abandoned buildings, parking garages, residential buildings and adjacent structures.
