Earthquake
Engineering
1st
Semester (2-0-0) (Even Years)
Prof.
Kazuhiko KAWASHIMA
[Aims
and Scopes]
Since
Japan is one of the most seismically disastrous countries in the world, seismic
design is
important
in design of structures. It is often that section of a structure is sized
resulting from the
requirements
for seismic design.
[Schedule]
1. Introduction
2. Structural Response Analysis for
Multi-degree-of-freedom Systems (Linear and Non-Linear)
3. Energy Dissipation Capability of
Structural Components
4. Ductility and Nonlinear Restoring Force

10. Performance-based Design
[Evaluation]
Grade
will be evaluated by both final examination and reports.
