Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
This course covers the performance-based design of building structures, including fundamental methods such as allowable stress calculation, load bearing capacity calculation, and dynamic design methods. It also explains design and evaluation methods for vibration-controlled structures and seismic-isolated structures. Additionally, the course discusses current issues in performance evaluation, such as robustness and resilience assessment. |
