Course Details
• Advanced Structural Dynamics: Study of the dynamic response of structures, with an emphasis on earthquake engineering. Topics include modal analysis, response spectra, time history analysis, and seismic isolation.
• Seismic Design of Structures: Analysis and design of structures under seismic loading. Emphasis on modern codes and standards, performance-based design, and the behavior of structural systems.
• Earthquake Resistant Materials: Study of the behavior of materials under seismic loading, including concrete, masonry, steel, and composites. Emphasis on the mechanical properties, durability, and damage tolerance of materials.
• Seismic Risk Analysis: Quantification of the risk of earthquake damage to structures and lifelines. Topics include hazard analysis, fragility curves, and loss estimation.
• Soil-Structure Interaction: Analysis and design of structures considering the interaction between the structure and the underlying soil. Topics include dynamic soil properties, liquefaction, and soil-structure systems.
• Retrofit and Rehabilitation of Earthquake-Damaged Structures: Techniques for improving the seismic performance of existing structures. Emphasis on assessment of existing structures, repair and retrofit strategies, and design of strengthening systems.
• Experimental Methods in Earthquake Engineering: Use of laboratory and field experiments to study the behavior of structures under seismic loading. Topics include shaking table testing, strain gauges, and accelerometers.
• Numerical Methods in Earthquake Engineering: Use of computer simulations to study the behavior of structures under seismic loading. Topics include finite element analysis, nonlinear analysis, and performance-based design.
