Course Description
Overview
The Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) rescinded Policy Advisory 09-98-A, Regarding Design, Evaluation and Repair of Residential Foundations. The TBPE now references The Texas Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers and its two documents, Guidelines for the Evaluation and Repair of Residential Foundations, and Recommended Practice for the Design of Residential Foundations.
In this course the student will study the Guidelines for the Evaluation and Repair of Residential Foundations, which is available for download at no cost from the TxASCE web site.
As in the Guidelines, the course is largely non-technical. Technical details of residential foundation evaluation and repair are not discussed. As part of the course, the course author's commentary is provided in the link below. A twenty-question quiz will test the student's understanding of the subject.

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.
*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.
**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.
Please Note: Continuing Education credits for this course are awarded as PDH (Professional Development Hour Credits).
