Abstract | The objective of this Module is to introduce the principles of Seismic Design of Structures and the Swiss Seismic Code Provisions to Civil Engineers working in Switzerland. |
Objective | This module enables participants: - To understand the critical points of the Swiss Code Provisions for the seismic design of new structures and the seismic evaluation of existing structures - To get an overview in the dynamics and the principles of seismic design of structures |
Content | 1.1 Introduction to seismic hazard and seismic risk, seismic performance objectives, common structural deficiencies and observed damage patterns due to earthquake ground motion excitation 1.2 Seismic elastic and inelastic response of SDOF systems and earthquake response spectra 1.3 Seismic elastic and inelastic response of MDOF systems, Response Spectrum Analysis and Pushover Analysis 1.4 Seismic Design of structures using SIA 261: Presentation and Examples 1.5 Good practices for the seismic design of new structures 1.6 Seismic safety of non-structural components 1.7 Swiss Code Provisions for the seismic evaluation of existing structures SIA 269/8: Presentation and examples, Evaluation of commensurability of seismic retrofitting measures |
