Explores earthquake effects, seismic hazards, building damage, and seismic design principles, emphasizing the importance of deformation capacity in structures.
Explores the Response Spectrum Method for estimating maximum system response in seismic engineering, covering effective modal mass, combination rules, and maximum storey forces.
Explores the response and design of inelastic SDOF systems under seismic forces, including force capacity, displacement ductility, and shear strength estimation.
Covers the types of nonlinearities in solid mechanics, the importance of nonlinear analysis in seismic projects, and the use of beam elements in structural modeling.
