( 0931553)Introduction to Earthquake Engineering
Course Description :
Introduction to earth and earthquake nature and characteristics, earth plate tectonics, faults, seismic waves, earthquake records, measurement, magnitude, intensity, and seismic effects on structures. Introduction to structural dynamics, period, frequency, damping, stiffness and rigidity. Single- and multi-degree of freedom systems. Seismic response of linear elastic single- and multi-degree of freedom (SDOF and MDOF) systems. Seismic design elastic response spectrum. Estimation of earthquake load by dynamic modal analysis. Analysis using generalized coordinates and Raleigh’s methods. Design codes such as UBC, IBC/ASCE 7, and Jordanian Codes. Analysis of multi-storey frame and shear wall buildings using equivalent static, response spectra, and response history procedures. Vertical and horizontal distribution of lateral seismic loads. Calculations of lateral displacements and floor drifts. Basic principles and requirements for earthquake resistant design and detailing of reinforced concrete buildings using design codes such as ACI 318.
