Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Determining Negligence in Engineering Failures, you'll learn ...

Horizontal moments and strength requirements for poles
How to calculate the expected loads on poles and crossarms
Maximum allowable span lengths
Calculations for vertical and horizontal loadings of crossarms

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 150 minutes has been met.

Length: 57 pages

This 3-hour course is the first in a series of three courses about the mechanical design of electric power distribution facilities. This volume of the series addresses pole and crossarm loading and explains how to calculate the expected loads on poles and crossarms and how to properly size equipment for the loads.

The course is divided into seven short chapters. The course begins with an overview of pole loading issues and then describes horizontal moments on poles and strength requirements for poles. Determination of maximum allowable span lengths are explained and calculations are provided for vertical and horizontal loading of crossarms.

Learning Objectives

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

Identify the factors that influence pole loading.
Calculate pole strength requirements.
Explain crossarm loading issues.
Determine vertical crossarm loading.
Calculate horizontal crossarm loading.
Explain the concept of a “permitted load.”
Describe the concept of pole resisting moments.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
