INTEGRATED COURSE IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING Integrated educational activity
Course Sheet Academic Year of enrolment:
Hours of classroom activity:
Prerequisites:
Please refer to the contents of module 1: Structural Dynamcs and module 2: Constrution in seismic areas
Objectives Contents Main contents of the first module is the study of the basic notions of the dynamics of discrete linear systems preparatory to the second module that focuses on the principles of earthquake engineering design following the Italian Building Code and Eurocode 8. The following topics will be presented: seismic hazard in Italy, linear methods of analysis, principles of capacity design and their implications in the design of earthquake resistant reinforced concrete buildings.
Extended Syllabus Please refer to the contents of module 1: Structural Dynamcs and module 2: Constrution in seismic areas
Recommended Bibliography Please refer to the contents of module 1: Structural Dynamcs and module 2: Constrution in seismic areas
Teaching Methods The course includes both in class teaching and assignments on both dynamic/seismic analysis and design applications.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
Two written midterm tests will be administered halfway and toward the end of the semester. Students who do not pass both tests will have to take a comprehensive written exam. The final grade for Integrated Course will be the average of the grade students received in the two modules (Dynamics of Structures, and Earthquake Engineering Design).
