Hurricane Mitigation: Summary Report On Building Performance: 3 PDH

$18.00

After major hurricane disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) dispatches Building Performance Assessment Teams (BPATs) to evaluate the successes and failures of buildings to withstand the wind and flood forces of these storms. The teams document the results of their evaluations in building performance assessment reports. This 3-hour online course summarizes the BPAT reports for Hurricane Katerina.

     $24.00 Add to cart
    In this course the student will gain detailed, research-based guidance on the curing process for concrete pavements, including pre-construction planning, methods of curing (initial and final), material selection, environmental considerations, and techniques to verify curing effectiveness. It emphasizes best practices to ensure long-term pavement performance and reduce early-life concrete distress.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

    SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

    This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

      • Explain the role of curing in achieving durable and strong concrete pavement, and identify consequences of inadequate curing.
      • Distinguish between the initial and final curing periods and describe their specific requirements and timing.
      • Evaluate environmental and material conditions that influence curing needs, including bleeding rates, evaporation rates, and concrete temperature.
      • Apply appropriate curing techniques—such as curing compounds, water-based methods, and sheet materials—based on project-specific conditions.
      • Identify factors contributing to plastic shrinkage and thermal cracking, and implement corrective actions to mitigate these issues during paving.
      • Verify curing effectiveness through practical methods, including visual inspection, reflectometry, and temperature/moisture measurement tools.
