Purpose and Background

This webinar includes a discussion of several vintage structural systems, some of which are over 100-years old, that are encountered in existing older buildings. The presentation will also include an example renovation project involving a vintage reinforced concrete slab system.

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Explain one and two-way hollow clay tile and unit masonry joist systems
  2. Describe design and construction aspects of the SMI System.
  3. Explain an adaptive reuse project that involved the SMI System.
  4. List different types of vintage reinforcing systems.
  5. Explain hollow clay tile arched floor systems.
  6. Describe one and two-way hollow clay tile and unit masonry joist systems.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).

Who Should Attend?

Structural Engineers, Staff and Project Engineers, Senior Engineers, Graduate to Experienced Engineers, Intermediate Level of Complexity
