Structural Design Criteria for Raised Floor Systems

Course No. S-4003

Credit: 4 PDH

Course Fee: $115.80 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: John Galinski, P.E.

Overview

A raised floor system is an assembly of beams, girders, joists, and sheathing panels comprised of various engineered wood framing products, all properly sized and connected together. A raised floor system is designed to elevate the living space of a structure off the ground, isolating it from moisture and pests.

The flexibility of a raised floor system provides several advantages during the construction phase. For example, a raised floor system constructed on a pier-and-beam foundation is less disruptive to the natural surroundings than a slab-on- grade foundation. Another advantage is in regards to flooding. A raised floor system provides a practical and affordable solution to building code requirements in flood-prone areas.

In this course, the student will review the Southern Pine Council’s publication “Raised Floor Systems – Design and Construction Guide” (2004). The referenced document is reproduced by permission of the Southern Pine Council.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-four (24) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
