Course Title: Seismic Design of Buildings: Importance of Seismic Ground Motions

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines the effects of seismic loads on buildings, applicable building codes and design guidelines, site-specific ground motion procedures for seismic design, selection and modification of time histories for seismic design, and soil structure interaction for seismic design.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to describe the forces that act on soils, foundations and buildings during seismic activities and explain how seismic activity is measured.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to reference and comply with ASCE-7 seismic provisions and International Building Code provisions for seismic design.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to discuss the importance of selecting ground motion histories for the seismic design strategy.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to discuss the role of site-specific ground-motion procedures for seismic design, and they will be able to describe how soil impacts the motion of a structure during seismic activities and vise versa.
