By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the seismic design philosophy
- Differentiate between different methods for the computation of the seismic response of building systems
- Evaluate the seismic response of an exemplary building based on the learned methods, using computer programs
- Describe the seismic behavior of masonry structures and assess the earthquake-induced damage on existing structures
- Understand the out-of-plane performance of masonry walls in existing buildings and analyze a case study with numerical and analytical methods, using computer programs
- Design tie-rods as traditional earthquake resistant devices to counteract OOP modes in masonry buildings
- Describe basic concepts of seismic risk assessment and mitigation
- Understand vibration control systems as a seismic risk mitigation approach
- Evaluate the seismic response of a building with/without seismic isolation system
