2024 IRC Significant Changes (Online Live)
2026-04-14 09:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
This class reviews and analyzes selected significant changes from the 2021 IRC to the 2024 IRC. It familiarizes building officials, fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors and design professionals with many of the significant changes in the 2024 IRC. It assists code users in identifying the specific code changes that have occurred, and more importantly, understanding the reason behind the change. Changes to building, energy, mechanical, fuel gas, plumbing and electrical requirements are discussed. Finally, the seminar focuses on those code changes selected due to their frequency of application, special significance or change in application. This course uses the Significant Changes to the International Residential Code 2024 Edition as its basis. The goal of Significant Changes to the International Residential Code® 2024 Edition is to familiarize building officials, fire officials, plans examiners, inspectors, design professionals, contractors, and others in the construction industry with many of the important changes in the 2024 International Residential Code® (IRC®). This class is designed to assist those code users in identifying the specific code changes that have occurred and understanding the reasons behind the change.

Mat Foundation Design
2026-04-14 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
During this seminar, Ian McFarlane will discuss design of mat foundations and soil-structure interaction. The session will describe the uses of mat foundations, historical perspectives that have led to the current procedures, and discuss soil properties and soil-structure interaction. Guidance will be provided for proportioning, analysis, and design for mat foundations. Code requirements and accepted approaches to their implementation will also be addressed, with additional discussion on best practices that go beyond code minimum requirements. Finally, detailing and constructability tips will be presented. The scope of this session will include design of mat foundations for both non-seismic and high-seismic conditions.

The Human Side of Inspections: Communication, Trust, and Liability (Learn Live)
2026-04-15 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Technical expertise is essential, but how inspectors communicate findings is equally critical. This session explores the “soft skills” side of inspection: managing homeowner expectations, reducing liability through clear reporting, and building public trust in inspection professionals. It will also discuss how home inspector vs. jurisdictional liability increases the importance of thorough communication to all stakeholders using the home inspection report.

2024 IFC Significant Changes (Online Live)
2026-04-16 09:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
This seminar will assist participants in transitioning from the 2018 International Fire Code® (IFC®) to the 2024 IFC. This course will focus on the major changes and their effects on design, construction, operations and inspection requirements.

Deep Foundations - Overview and Design Example
2026-04-16 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, Webinar, United States
Deep foundation systems provide improved resistance to settlement and can safely support buildings founded on very poor soils. Deep foundations can also improve building performance by providing resistance to uplift loading. The design of deep foundations involves both the Geotechnical Engineer and the Structural Engineer. Thus, it is wise for the structural engineer to become more educated regarding deep foundation design. This presentation will provide an overview of deep foundations, including various systems in common use, such as driven precast concrete and structural steel piles, augercast piles, cast-in-drilled-hole piles, and micropiles. Mr. Harris will discuss the behavior of each system, as well as its best uses and limitations. The presentation will also include a worked example design for cast-in-place concrete piles resisting vertical and lateral loads.
