Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: At the end of this course students will be able to:

Define preliminary design of structural system starting from architectural drawings,
Execute earthquake load calculation for different building types for different types of building use,
Identify irregularities,
Design the building structure against earthquake, by using the available national earthquake code.
Course Content: Introduction to Earthquake Resistant Design of reinforced concrete building structures. The Earthquake action and its effect on buildings. Introduction to earthquake codes, in particular to the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC). Architectural systems and the load bearing (gravity and seismic) systems. Frame systems, wall and frame systems. Wall only systems. The clauses referring to the different systems in the TEC, and differences or similarities for the modelling and analysis. Calculation of earthquake load by considering the design aspects of the TEC. Definition of the importance factor, the contribution of the live load to the earthquake mass, spectral loads, center of gravity. Distribution of the earthquake load over the height of the building structure. Effect of irregularities on the calculation of earthquake loads. Amplification factors for certain irregularities.
