SI 000 Earthquake Engineering

Instructor: Assistant:

Course Objectives:
Integrate information from various engineering and scientific discipline in order to provide rational basis for the design of earthquake resistant structures. The following engineering and scientific discipline give important information to the earthquake resistant structure, engineering seismology, geotechnical engineering, economic, risk and reliability analysis, architecture. In addition the basic in static and dynamic engineering analysis is a must, a basic understanding of inelastic analysis of structures is required.

Course Objectives:
1. Introduction: Basis of earthquake engineering philosophies: role of uncertainty and the management of risk an ideal approach and some practical simplifications limit states approaches approaches adopted in the current and emerging building code provisions(SNI-03-1726) and its limitation special design consideration when permitting inelastic structural response, time history limitation and capacity design concept

2. Engineering Characterization of Earthquake Ground Motions
