Course Objectives | An introduction to the concepts and principles of seismic design, including strategies for designing earthquakeresistant buildings to ensure the health, safety, and security of building occupants and assets will be given in the course. In addition, as a general rule, buildings designed to resist earthquakes should also resist blast (terrorism) or wind, suffering less damage. |

Course Description | Design professionals agree that the most successful way to mitigate losses of life, property, and function is to design buildings that are disaster resistant. This approach should be incorporated into the project planning, design, and development at the earliest possible stage so that design and material decisions can be based on an integrated "whole building approach."Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, flooding, rainfall and winddriven rain, differential settlements, landslides and mudslides, forest fires, building fires, tsunami and global warming are the main topics of the course. |
