Advanced Concepts in Earthquake Engineering and Seismicity

Learning

Mark Fleischhaker successfully completed the C4-2 Advanced Concepts in Earthquake Engineering and Seismicity course from Structural Engineers Association of BC Certificate in Structural Engineering Program.

Course Purpose:

This course covers advanced concepts of earthquake engineering and will provide the student with additional knowledge to perform seismic analyses and design of building structures covered in other courses of this program.

Selected Topics:

Seismic Hazard Analysis Concepts (Deterministic and Probabilistic), Basic Modeling of Structures for Seismic Analysis, Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis, Nonlinear Dynamic Response History Analysis, and Soil-Structure Interaction. For each topic to be discussed, the theory behind the concept will be introduced and explained first, and then illustrative practically-oriented examples will be presented and discussed.
