Seismic Engineering Fundamentals
This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of seismic engineering, focusing on topics such as the response of structures to earthquakes, elastic response spectra, and the estimation of peak forces and displacements. It delves into the analysis of elastic SDOF systems, the impact of soil classes on response spectra, and the differences between linear and nonlinear systems. Students will learn about the importance of damping ratios, empirical relationships for maximum displacements, and the practical application of Newmark's method in seismic analysis.
