The General Structures and Lateral Forces classes are being offered in an interactive online format. The focus of the sessions is preparation of A.R.E. candidates for the General Structures and Lateral Forces portions of the exam. Each session teaches fundamental principles of structural engineering through solving structural problems and discussing real life examples.

This refresher course in structures should give licensed architects greater confidence and more tools for use in their daily practice. The General Structures portion of the course may be taken separately. The Lateral Forces review assumes ability in General Structures and may taken separately.

The online format allows the course to be spread out over several days. Each session will have an intermission allowing you to move around, snack, etc. The online format will allow you to ask questions at any time and receive immediate responses, just like a face-to-face format. Attendees are very positive about this course and this online format. Alan recently took this class from his office in Hawaii and said, "Thanks for organizing a great class. Overall, I thought it was excellent. Marc really know his stuff and is very patient and thorough in presenting it."
 

Who should take this course:

Architectural Candidates preparing to take the A.R.E. General Structures and Lateral Forces exams.

Practicing architects and interns who desire a refresher course in structures.

 

Goals of the Workshop:

  • Prepare Architectural Candidates for the General Structures and Lateral Forces Exam by using the instructors experience and education in architecture and structural engineering.
  • Relate the fundamental principles of structural engineering through problem solving and discussion of real life examples where these items are encountered.

This refresher course in structures should give the attendee greater confidence and more tools for their daily practice. The GS portion of the course may be taken separately. The Lateral Forces review may be taken separately.
