Tennessee Geotechnical & Health/Safety/Welfare 24 PDH Discount Pkg 1

This online engineering PDH course presents the guidelines for calculation of the bearing capacity of soil under shallow and deep foundations supporting various types of structures such as buildings and houses, towers and storage tanks, fills, embankments and dams. These guidelines may be helpful in determining soils that will lead to bearing capacity failure or excessive settlements for given foundations and loads.

Bearing capacity is the ability of soil to safely carry the pressure placed on the soil from any engineered structure without undergoing a shear failure with accompanying large settlements. Applying a bearing pressure which is safe with respect to failure does not ensure that settlement of the foundation will be within acceptable limits. Therefore, settlement analysis should generally be performed since most structures are sensitive to excessive settlement.

This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel who are involved with foundation investigation and design.

This online engineering PDH course presents essential roles and responsibilities of the tunnel staff, normal operating procedures, and emergency response guidelines for vehicle collisions, fires, explosions, floods and earthquakes.

Operating requirements vary among tunnel facilities because of the traffic level, the feasibility of alternative routes, accessibility to existing utilities, availability of emergency responders, and other conditions specific to each tunnel. Functional systems within the tunnel must be integrated with operational procedures to include the mechanical equipment, electrical components, lighting fixtures, fire and life safety systems, signs and security equipment installed within the tunnel.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act as it applies to facility design.

For individuals with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protections similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for all engineers involved in the design of facilities accessible to the public and regulated by the ADA.

This online engineering PDH course focuses on the plumbing elements and facilities of the  2010 ADA standards for accessible design.  

The Department of Justice published revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 "ADA" in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised, enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design "2010 Standards" or "Standards". The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements – both scoping and technical – for newly designed and constructed or altered State and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

This online engineering PDH course focuses on the Accessible Routes of the  2010 ADA standards for accessible design.

This online engineering PDH course provides detailed information on designing accessible parking spaces that meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act as defined by the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

Both vans and cars are considered.  Dimensions, distribution, location, connections to access routes (to accessible entrances to buildings), and minimum number of spaces are all described.  Special requirements for making temporary events (such as street festivals, craft fairs, musical performances, sporting events and home shows) accessible are also presented.

This online engineering PDH course provides general guid­ance to help business owners understand how to comply with the Department of Justice’s Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the 2010 Standards, the design standards for accessible buildings.

The ADA applies to both the built environment and to policies and procedures that affect how a business provides goods and services to its customers. Using this guidance, small business owners or managers can ensure that they will not unintentionally exclude people with disabilities and will know when they need to remove barriers in existing facilities.

This 1 PDH online course is intended for engineers involved in the planning, design or operation of a small business.

This online engineering PDH course provides responsible employers, workers, and worker representatives with a sound, flexible framework for addressing safety and health issues on diverse construction job sites.

This course follows a proactive approach to managing occupational safety and health rather than a traditional approach where actions are taken only after a worker is injured or becomes sick. Finding and fixing hazards before they cause injury or illness is a far more effective approach. Doing so avoids the direct and indirect costs of worker injuries and illnesses and promotes a positive work environment.

Employers will find that implementing the recommended practices highlighted in this course will bring other benefits as well such as improvements in production/quality, better employee morale, improved employee recruiting and retention, and a more favorable image and reputation among customers, suppliers, and the community.

This online engineering PDH course presents ethics guidelines for engineers. The guidelines have been developed for everyday use by engineers as they encounter common situations in their jobs. The course is based on an ASCE document adapted from a standards-of-business-conduct document developed by a private company. Thus the course is useful not only to civil engineers but also to engineers in other fields.

This 2 PDH online course is intended for all engineers who are interested in gaining a better understanding about how to protect and respect their engineering profession in the utmost manner.
