Course description and aims
In this course, students learn about example of seismic damage in reinforced concrete structures and practical knowledge on seismic design and retrofit method of reinforced concrete structures, especially seismic design method for sub- and superstructure of bridges.
First, the students study basic knowledge on reinforcement concrete structures and seismic retrofit methods. Next, the students understand detail seismic design method for substructure of bridges and learn design of isolated and vibration controlled bridges. In addition, students study about design of superstructure of bridges and design for wind load.
Finally, students also learn about business continuous plan (BCP) and concept of risk management, and understand general idea of seismic resistant system design through practical case studies.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, each student will be able to:
1. Describe mechanism of seismic damage on reinforced concrete structures.
2. Describe seismic design and retrofit method of reinforced concrete structures.
3. Understand seismic design techniques for isolated and reinforced concrete structures.
4. Understand design of superstructure of bridges and describe design for wind load.
Course taught by instructors with work experience
| ✔ Applicable | How instructors' work experience benefits the course |
|---|---|
| The lecturer in charge of this course has plenty of experiences on design, construction and research in the construction company, so the students can learn the seismic engineering from the practical point of view. |
Keywords
Performance based design, design ground motions, 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 the lecture, explain mainly the technical background of design standards and the parts not explicitly stated in standards, with actual damage cases and experiment examples.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
