Explores the response and design of inelastic SDOF systems under seismic forces, including force capacity, displacement ductility, and shear strength estimation.
Covers the risk-based seismic assessment using Swiss Standard SIA 269/8, emphasizing cost-effective interventions and evaluation of individual and collective risks.
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.
