What are some causes of sea-level rise? Is it impacting all coastlines? Sea-level rise is a very real flood condition that has caught the attention of many coastal communities around the U.S. This interactive online course will provide information about the potential magnitude of this rising water, the planning required to better resist the effects of this rising water, and why sea level rise can be so damaging to the built environment. A few case studies will be included to illustrate what is being done around the country to combat this serious climate change issue.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the primary components and structural behavior of pier and beam foundation systems

  • Explain how ASCE 7, ASCE 24, the IBC, the IRC, TMS 402/602, FEMA guidance, and local floodplain requirements influence foundation design decisions
  • Recognize the importance of a continuous load path for gravity, uplift, lateral, shear, sliding, and overturning forces
  • Compare common pier and foundation materials, including masonry, reinforced concrete, treated wood, steel, and proprietary systems
  • Identify common performance problems, including weak connections, inadequate reinforcement, poor footing support, scour, corrosion, decay, and incomplete inspection
