EQE 630 – Earthquake Response Analysis of Structures II
COURSE NO AND TITLE : EQE 630 – Earthquake Response Analysis of Structures II
INSTRUCTOR : Prof. Dr. Sinan Akkar
COURSE OBJECTIVES : The objective of the course is to present theoretical and practical aspects of performance-based assessment and design, including traditional and advanced forms of pushover analysis and nonlinear response history analysis in the time domain.
COURSE CONTENT :
- Main concepts in Performance Based Earthquake Engineering (1 week)
- Nonlinear response analysis of structures (9 weeks)
- Nonlinear behaviour at material and component levels
- Nonlinear Response Analysis of SDOF Systems
- Nonlinear Response Analysis of MDOF Systems
- Pushover Analysis
- Nonlinear Response History Analysis
- Framework of performance based earthquake engineering (PBEE) (4 weeks)
- Classical code approach
- State-of-the-art probabilistic concepts implemented in PBEE
PREREQUISITES : EQE 530 or a similar course on Structural Dynamics.
DURATION & HOURS PER WEEK : 12 weeks, 3 hours per week
ASSIGNMENTS: Assignments will contain the following topics
- Nonlinear response analysis of SDOF systems
- Nonlinear response analysis of MDOF systems (Pushover and response history analyses of 2D buildings)
- Main tools used in classical and state-of-the art PBEE implementation
GRADING BASIS :
Grading will be based on the assignments and the term project. The students may be required to make presentations as part of their assignments and term project.
COMPUTER SKILLS: Basic conduct of MS Office software. Familiarity to a computer programming language (e.g., Matlab) would be beneficial. Familiarity to some structural analysis programs (e.g., SAP2000) would also be beneficial.
REFERENCE TEXTBOOKS :
(optional) course notes will be provided.
