Course Description | The course focuses on the earthquake ground motion, fault mechanisms and earthquake parameters. Basic principles of Structural Dynamics in terms of Earthquake Engineering will be taken into account to investigate the behavior of the structural systems under earthquake ground motion and the earthquake load acting on the structures will be calculated. The concept of Earthquake Spectra will be introduced and the design spectra in the Earthquake Design Codes will be examined. |
