Description

Development of a rational basis for design of earthquake resistant design. Engineering characterization of earthquakes dynamics of inelastic systems response of inelastic structures structural system design considerations modeling and analysis of buildings performance-based design an advanced seismic design topic of choice, time permitting. Application of relevant design specifications.

Program

M.Sc. in Structural Engineering

Objectives

• To introduce the students to the design of structures that would sustain dynamic loading (earthquake forces).
