| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Structural safety of building structures can be improved by controlling their responses to dynamic excitation induced by earthquakes and winds. The course explains the analytical and experimental background of the advanced analysis and simulation methods such as limit-state analysis and inelastic analysis, and methodologies for actively control the responses, i.e. base isolation and structural control. | ||
| Course Goals | The course help students to understand the fundamental theory behind anti-seismic design and the tips for their practical application. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
