Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to design and detail reinforced concrete structures (beams, columns, walls) under seismic loading based on Eurocode 8.
Course Content (Syllabus)
Structural morphology and influence on the seismic behavior of reinforced structures – Structural systems according Eurocode 8 (EC8) - Seismic design of concrete structures according to Eurocode 8 - Design spectra. - Seismic design actions. - Distribution of base shear - Capacity design. – Collapse mechanisms – Structural ductility- Design of R/C elements for medium and high ductility classes (beams, columns, walls, joints) – Interaction of adjacent structures (pounding).
