Structural condition assessments as described in this guideline are within the practice of professional engineering, and fall into two categories: 1. preliminary assessments, and 2. detailed assessments. These assessments types are described in sections 8.2 and 8.3. Reasons for structural condition assessments of buildings include: 1.

Residential Foundation Design . Options and Concepts . Course Content . 1.1 General . A foundation transfers the load of a structure to the earth and resists loads imposed by the earth. A foundation in residential construction may consist of a footing, wall, slab, pier, pile, or a combination of these elements. This course will addresses the

5.3 Allowable Stress Design and Strength Design Traditionally the geometry of a footing or a pile cap is selected using unfactored loads. The structural design of the foundation is then completed using strength design in accordance with ACI 318. ACI Committee 336 is in the process of developing a methodology for completing the entire footing

The structural design of mat foundations can be carried out by two conventional methods: the conventional rigid method and the approximate flexible method. Finite-difference and finite-element methods can also be used, but this section covers only the basic concepts of the first design method. ...

Though this has been effective from the aspect of optimizing structural design of each type of structure, the presence of technical standards for every single type of structure may impair the accountability of design, which has been increasingly advocated in recent years.
