About the Course
High Rise structural issues – This course exposes attendees to basic structural considerations of high rise projects. Catastrophic structural failures are exceedingly rare in the US because of strong building codes. However, the recent condo collapse of Champlain Towers South in Florida has brought this subject to the forefront and opened up the discussion about maintenance issues unique to high rise structures. This course is a “must attend” course for those involved in high rise reserve studies or those manage high rise condo or co-op projects. David McDermott is an experienced architect who will provide insight into this very timely topic.
