This course gives the overview of post-earthquake damage evaluation and rehabilitation of steel structures. Topics include a basis of seismic performances and retrofit of building structures.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the overview of post-earthquake damage evaluation and rehabilitation of steel structures
2) Evaluate the degree of damage of framing components from visible information
3) Propose rehabilitation design for a simple damaged structure
Building structres, Earthquake engineering, Post-earthquake damage evaluation, Rehabilitation of damaged structures
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
The instructor uses two or four classes and gives a lecture and exercise problems per topic.
