| Course Objectives: | The main objective of this course is to introduce engineering aspect in structural system design and its integration into the architectural design by focusing on earthquake resistant building design concept. Another goal of this course is to introduce innovative approaches in earthquake resistant building design as active and passive systems in order to point out the importance of integrated design approach and necessity of architect – engineer collaboration. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; - Ability to apply the basic principles of life-safety systems with an emphasis on egress. - Understanding of the basic principles of structural behaviour in withstanding gravity and lateral forces and the evolution, range, and appropriate application of contemporary structural systems. - Understanding of the ethical issues involved in the formation of professional judgment regarding social, political and cultural issues in architectural design and practice. - Understanding of the architect’s responsibility to the public and the client as determined by registration law, building codes and regulations, professional service contracts, zoning and subdivision ordinances, environmental regulation, and historic preservation and accessibility laws. |
| - Lectures on EQ phenomenon, EQ resistant building design, codes and regulations, lateral stability and innovative approaches in EQ resistant building design such as passive and active systems. Technological development in seismic resistance is going to be shown aligned with seismic isolators and damping systems. - Video projections of occurred earthquakes and their stories and design and construction of existing buildings. - Discussion on the topics of each week. |
