Important Concepts in the Seismic Design: Dos and Don'ts

COURSE NO: S02-040
PDH CREDIT: 2
Important Concepts in the Seismic Design: Dos and Don'ts
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of important concepts in seismic design.

 

This course describes the crucial principles that must be rigorously followed during the conceptual planning stage of a building to ensure superior performance during earthquakes. It shows how the structure's form and the distribution of earthquake forces impact its behavior. This course helps to explore the significance of overall form, regular configuration, load flow, and framing systems in the initial planning phase of seismic design.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to structural and civil engineers as well as other technical professionals interested in learning about important concepts in seismic design.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Learning the fundamental principles that should be observed strictly at the conceptual planning stage of a building since these have a great impact on the overall performance of the building during an earthquake
  • Knowing the important concepts that affect the overall performance of the building during earthquake
  • Familiarizing with the behavior of a structure during an earthquake
