ECTS 10

Expending fundamental knowledge in the area of earthquake engineering, aseismic design of construction structures and seismic risk management.

Enabling students to apply contemporary methods for structure calculations for earthquake action and design seismically resistant structures in construction practice.

Survey on earthquake action: respond spectres and accelerograms. Elastic, designed and nonlinear response spectres. Determining design loads. behaviour analysis for materials, elements and structures under the action simulating earthquakes. Breakage type control. Analysis of structures under seismic action: systems with one- and multiple-degree of freedom, linear elastic and nonlinear calculation models, equivalent static analysis, spectral analysis, and time analysis. Survey of innovative procedures for calculation structures for earthquake action: capacity method, design according to movements, and design based on performance estimation. Fundamentals in design according to contemporary regulations – Eurocode 8, FEMA 278. Main principles in designing seismically resistant structures. Selection of structural systems. Programmed behaviour method. Insulation and energy dissipation concept. Seismic insulation for buildings and bridges.

Interactive work with students with the objective to continually monitor students` knowledge level. Theoretical analysis on phenomena included in the course content and numerical modelling. The course prerequisites the elaboration and defence of a seminar paper.
