In Multihazard Design of Buildings, you'll learn ...
- How perceptions are often incorrect regarding the risks of major winds, earthquakes and flooding for a particular region or state
- Comparative data on potential losses between different parts of the country due to earthquakes, floods and hurricanes
- Multihazard design interactions – how building system upgrades to address one hazard can either enhance or reduce the protection against other hazards

Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 20 pages
The purpose of this course is to familiarize the engineer with multihazard design. In this course, the design methods used to resist the effects of each natural hazard are discussed in the context of the design methods for the other natural hazards. This integrated approach is a key aspect of multihazard design that must be reflected in a larger integrated approach to the whole building design.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare the hazards addressed in multihazard building design.
- Analyze the potential losses associated with different hazards.
- Explain fire and life safety considerations in building design.
- Describe interactions among multihazard design requirements.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
