Course description and aims

In this course, students will use the basics of seismic design learned in Practical Seismic Design I to learn application techniques for real structures. Specifically, students will gain an understanding of seismic design techniques based on actual design examples broken down into foundations that support structures, earth structures, foundation structures, reinforced concrete structures, bridge structures, underground structures, etc.
Students will also gain an understanding of specific techniques for business continuity plans (BCP) and seismic reinforcement methods.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, each student will be able to:
1. Understand seismic reinforcement of foundations and seismic design techniques for earth structures.
2. Understand seismic design techniques for foundation structures and underground structures.
3. Understand seismic design techniques for reinforced concrete structures.

Keywords

Design input ground motion, performance based design, nonlinear seismic response analysis, seismic performance improvement technology, BCP

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In each lecture, specific examples of handling problems are shown, and the instructor explains in particular the parts which are not written in the design standards. By showing topics that an aspiring engineer should be able to handle, students are constantly reminded to perform safe and rational seismic design.
