Full course description
Welcome to Seismic Design Part 2: Seismic Design for Buildings! Seismic Design Part 2 covers the basic design process for seismic loads in ASCE 7 – Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The course will cover the required knowledge to understand the seismic design process which includes:
Determining the seismic hazard Selecting a lateral force-resisting system;
Generating the equivalent lateral forces;
Using the lateral forces and load combinations to determine component demands;
Ensuring the complete, continuous load path has the capacity for the expected strength of the fuse elements;
Checking whether deflections and p-delta effects are within allowable limits;
