Construction Calculation and Aseizmic design Course code: PKAP | 7 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 2
Semester: 3
Requirements:
Goal: Course objective is that students of master applied studies get to know and master the basic knowledge of the earthquake phenomenon and its effect on the structure. The student prepares to master the basic techniques of calculation of structures in building construction and design and calculation of seismically resistant structures.
Outcome: Students can practically apply the acquired knowledge in the calculation of structures in building construction as well as design seismically resistant structures.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Introduction and historical overview of methods for calculation of structures in building construction. Introduction to earthquake engineering and seismic risk management. Earthquake hazard and general aspects of seismic risk reduction. Earthquakes, strength and intensity of earthquakes, soil characteristics. Earthquake engineering and the role of seismic design, project goals of seismic design and basic structural characteristics. Seismic reaction (behaviour) of individual elements: beam girders, columns, their mutual connections as well as AB wall canvases. Methods of programmed behaviour of seismic buildings, the concept of insulation and energy dissipation. Basic principles and guidelines for the design of seismically resistant structures. Global behaviour of objects on seismic influences, choice of structural system and control of fracture type. Choice of object form, material and constructive system. Seismic behaviour of soil and dynamic characteristics of soil, interaction of soil and structure. Design seismic parameters for building structures. Introduction to the theory of seismic response of structures, dynamic characteristics of the structure and modern methods of seismic analysis. Design and calculation of seismically resistant structures. Practical application of valid regulations for the calculation of structures due to seismic influences. Reinforcement of existing buildings and reconstruction of buildings damaged due to seismic influences.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Content from theoretical classes translated into practical application through exercises.
