| Outline and Purpose of the Course | These lectures will discuss the basic theory, applied theory, and practical design methods associated with earthquake-resistant design of architectural structures. Lectures will cover the basic elements of earthquake-resistant design: benchmarks and strength rankings for each structural element (pillars, beams, walls, etc.) and their meaning in earthquake-resistant design; the relationship between irregularities in horizontal and elevational planes in the frame and earthquake-response; mechanisms for consuming seismic energy, and desirable structural collapse behavior. The lectures will also explain how to use the strength, rigidity, hysterisis restoring force characteristics, and equivalent viscous damping coefficient of materials and frame elements (obtained from structural testing) in earthquake-resistant design. The lectures will also describe methods of approximation such as the equivalent linearizing method, with which one can easily deal with elastic-plastic response. Appropriate exercises will be given. | |||
| Course Goals | To undestand the basic theory, applied theory, and practical design methods associated with earthquake-resistant design of architectural structures, and how to evaluate earthquake-resistant design. To understand current earthquake-resistant design techniques in Japan and overseas (and the differences between those methods) and gain the ability to conduct earthquake-resistant design for simple real structures and evaluate earthquake-resistance. | |||
