CourseDetails
• Seismic Hazard Assessment: Understanding the seismic risk and potential hazards in a region is crucial to designing effective seismic-resistant structures. This unit covers the methods and tools used to assess seismic hazards, including seismic zone maps, historical data, and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). • Seismic Design Basics: This unit covers the fundamental principles of seismic-resistant structure design, including the concept of force-based design, capacity design, and ductility. It also introduces the main seismic design parameters, such as the seismic force-resisting system, the seismic demand, and the seismic response. • Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering: This unit delves into the dynamic behavior of structures under seismic loads, including modal analysis, response spectrum analysis, and time-history analysis. It also covers the principles of earthquake-resistant design, such as mass participation, stiffness proportionality, and energy dissipation. • Structural Systems and Components: This unit examines the different types of structural systems and components used in seismic-resistant design, such as moment-resisting frames, braced frames, shear walls, and buckling-restrained braces. It also covers the design criteria and detailing requirements for these systems and components, as well as the various failure modes and performance levels. • Foundation Design and Soil-Structure Interaction: This unit discusses the effects of soil-structure interaction on seismic-resistant design, including the influence of soil stiffness, damping, and nonlinearity. It also covers the design of shallow and deep foundations for seismic loads, including pile foundations, mat foundations, and spread footings. • Seismic Retrofit and Rehabilitation: This unit focuses on the techniques and strategies for retrofitting and rehabilitating existing structures to improve their seismic performance. It covers the assessment of existing structures, the identification of seismic vulnerabilities, and the selection of appropriate retrofit measures, such as base isolation, energy dissipation devices, and structural strengthening. • Performance-Based Design: This unit introduces the concept of performance-based design,
