Course Objective and Content

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

Identify the concept of ductility and ductile design,
Calculate earthquake load,
Design for earthquake,
Use reinforcement detailing for ductile design.
Course Content: The purpose of this course is to emphasize the following topics: Introduction to earthquake resistant design of building structures. Introduction to the current Earthquake Code of Turkey (Deprem Bölgelerinde Yapılacak Binalar Hakkında Yönetmelik – 2007). Definition of loads, and load combinations both for cast in place and precast structures. Spectral analysis and equivalent load analysis for a seismic design. Steps in design and analysis towards a seismic reinforced concrete design. Definition of ductility and its way of existence in reinforced concrete structures. Control points for a ductile design. Definition of irregularities in plan and elevation, and investigation of the analysis outputs to highlight the possible irregularities. Structures with mixed ductility levels in two orthogonal directions. Ductile design of beams, columns and shear walls according to high and medium ductility levels.
