Course Introduction
The essence of successful seismic design lies in three critical elements:
adopting a multi-hazard approach that addresses seismic forces alongside other hazards, adhering to performance-based requirements exceeding minimum code standards, and fostering a unified understanding among design team members. Seismic design involves ensuring that buildings resist earthquakes and other hazards such as blast impacts and high winds with minimal damage.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of seismic and wind design principles and detailing for reinforced concrete and steel structures. Participants will learn advanced techniques in accordance with global standards (e.g., ADIBC/ACI/ASCE), enabling efficient and robust structural design.
Course objective
- Gain comprehensive knowledge of designing and detailing earthquake-resistant steel and reinforced concrete structures.
- Estimate the probability and intensity of ground motions and their implications on structural design.
- Perform seismic analysis using manual methods and advanced computer tools.
- Understand capacity design concepts and structural ductility.
- Apply seismic and wind design provisions from ADIBC/ACI/ASCE standards.
- Evaluate wind design pressures and understand the impact of various windstorm types.
- Accurately calculate design pressures for structural components and cladding.
- Develop performance-based designs for seismic and wind hazards.
