Lesson 4: The FEM for Solid Mechanics Problems (strong form and weak form, isoparametric elements, Gauss integration scheme, stress computation)
Lesson 5: Structural modeling (available computer programs, selection of modeling methodology, geometry, material and section properties, boundary conditions, loads)
Lesson 6: Dynamic analysis of structural systems (single degree of freedom systems, multi-degree of freedom systems, response spectrum analysis)
Lesson 7: Seismic random response analysis (basic concepts, seismic random excitations, pseudo excitation method for the structure random vibration analysis)
Lesson 8: Midterm exam
Lesson 9: Nonlinear analysis (analysis classification and general guidelines, geometric nonlinearity formulation, material nonlinearity formulations, nonlinear section analysis)
Lesson 10: Nonlinear analysis (nonlinear frame analysis, displacement-based seismic design, static push-over analysis)
Lesson 11: Bridge engineering in Japan (design philosophy and loads, materials, girder bridges, arch bridges)
Lesson 12: Bridge engineering in Japan (truss bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges)
Lesson 13: Seismic design practice in Japan (history of earthquake damage and development of seismic design methods, performance-based design specifications, basic principle of seismic design)
Lesson 14: Seismic design practice in Japan (design ground motions, seismic performance verification, design methods, design seismic force, ductility design of reinforced concrete and steel piers)
Lesson 15: Seismic design practice in Japan (seismic isolation design, design of foundations, design against soil liquefaction and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, design of bearing supports)
