The objective of this course is to assist a licensed design professional, practicing structural engineers, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers, building officials, educators, students and/or a licensed general contractor to deeply know, and understand the structural analysis, design, detailing, and construct-ability of cast-in-place concrete diaphragms. The importance of this course lies in the fact that there are no a sufficient number of references dealing with this topic, so this course was designed to be a guide for the structural engineer.
