INSTRUCTOR:
William L. Coulbourne, P.E, F.SEI, F.ASCE
Purpose and Background
This course will cover the process of designing a coastal building by including both wind and flood design using the latest ASCE standards that govern these topics; ASCE 7-22 for wind, ASCE 7-22, Supplement 2 for flood, and ASCE 24-24 for flood-resistant design. The material will also include topics on climate change and structural reliability as they relate to new ASCE 7-22 requirements on flood design and the use of load combinations that include flood. This course was last presented in 2015 and was very popular. It has been re-packaged for delivery in today’s work environment and updated with standard revisions that have just occurred in 2022 and 2024. The material is even more relevant today based on the significant destruction that has occurred along the nation’s coastline over the last several years.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Recognize changes to ASCE 7-22 for both wind and flood loads
- Explain the significance of the changes on the practice of flood design
- Utilize the flood and wind load formulas to create a design that meets the new load requirements
- Differentiate between traditional and updated approaches to design in the context of reliability theory
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-test exam involving true-false and multiple-choice questions.
Who Should Attend?
- Civil engineers that are involved in the practice of flood design
- Structural engineers that are involved in the practice of flood design

How to Earn your CEUs/PDHs
Upon completion of this course, attendees will receive .8 CEUs /8 PDHs. To receive your certificate of completion, you will need to complete a short post-test and receive a passing score of 70% or higher within 30 days of the course.
How do I convert CEUs to PDHs?
1.0 CEU = 10 PDHs [Example: 0.1 CEU = 1 PDH]
