This is a good course for someone that does not design concrete everyday (or at all).
It does not substitute for a design course, nor does the author claim that. It's just a good review.

Best written course I've reviewed this cycle. Clearly written with proper grammar - this has become sadly unusual in PDH courses. Also presented in logical arrangement, easy to follow, straightforward examples.
That being said, it is truly just an elementary introduction to the topic, probably easily accessible and informative to the lay person with little engineering background. But still useful for my purposes in helping to clearly communicate with the pertinent engineering disciplines and contractors.

course was a great refresher for me since last time I had it was 50 years ago.....
****one major mistake I believe is that text said to raise reinf. wire to middle of concrete in a sidewalk or patio and that would put wire in the NA and no benefit there. wire should be about 1 inch off the ground and use spacers or hold up with strong rake as concrete will push it flat to ground during the pour.

Having said that, I thought the course could have went a little more into the design of reinforced concrete as I remember from school, maybe provided a beam, wall or slab design example. I think then you could justify a 4 PDH. Otherwise good job. Thanks

Tricky test
the reasons for two stars are: #1 the test questions are tricky (misleading), #2 it's only 3 credit (PE requires 4 credit minimum)
SunCam Comment: The average score for this test is 91% and our statistical analysis of all of test takers shows that none of the test questions is ambiguous. The complaint about the duration of the course is unfounded. If you want a 4-PDH course you should purchase a 4-PDH course. Additionally, only Florida has a 4-PDH requirement. Most states require 30-PDHs.

PRESTRESS CONCRETE - THE BEAM DOES NOT NECESSARLY LIFT OFF THE POUR BED WHEN TENDONS ARE CUT ONLY IF CAMBER IS DESIGNED INTO THE MEMBER. tHE BEAM DOES NOT GO INTO TENSION - IE. IT IS ALWAYS DESIGNED TO HAVE COMPRESSION UNDER NORMAL DESIGN UNLESS YOU ARE IN EXCESS OF CODE LIMIT SHOULD EMPHACISE PRESTRESS CONCRETE WAS NOT POSSIBLE BEFORE HIGH STRENGTH STEELS BECAME AVAILABLE IN FAIRLY RECENT YEARS. THE PROBLEM IS CREEP IN MILD STEEL.
