Course Details
• Seismic Hazard Assessment: An overview of the methods and techniques used to assess the seismic hazard in a region, including the study of tectonic plates, seismic activity monitoring, and the creation of hazard maps.
• Seismic Design Basics: Introduction to the fundamental principles of seismic design, including the concepts of seismic forces, displacement, and drift. This unit will also cover the importance of ductility, redundancy, and energy dissipation in seismic design.
• Seismic-Resistant Structural Systems: An in-depth examination of the various structural systems used in seismic design, such as moment-resisting frames, braced frames, shear walls, and eccentrically braced frames. The unit will cover the advantages and disadvantages of each system, as well as their design considerations.
• Advanced Seismic Design Techniques: This unit will cover advanced seismic design techniques such as base isolation, energy dissipation devices, and passive control systems. The unit will also cover the design and analysis of structures using these techniques.
• Seismic Retrofit and Rehabilitation: An overview of the methods and techniques used to retrofit and rehabilitate existing structures to meet current seismic design requirements. The unit will cover the importance of seismic evaluation, retrofit design, and implementation.
• Performance-Based Seismic Design: An introduction to the performance-based seismic design (PBSD) approach, which focuses on the expected performance of a structure under seismic loading, rather than just meeting code-prescribed minimums. The unit will cover the advantages and challenges of PBSD, as well as the steps involved in the PBSD process.
• Seismic Design Codes and Regulations: An overview of the various seismic design codes and regulations used around the world, including the International Building Code, the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, and Eurocode 8. The unit will cover the similarities and differences between these codes and regulations, as well as their application in seismic design.
• Seismic Risk Assessment: An introduction to seismic risk assessment, which involves evaluating the potential
