Seismic Design in Steel (Archived, Self-Paced)

Register
Presented by:  Rafael Sabelli, PE, SE

This course is intended to provide engineers with guidance so that they are ready to apply the AISC seismic design requirements correctly and efficiently on typical projects in regions of moderate or high seismicity. It also includes a long design example that provides more specific guidance on the application to the design of a low-rise building. The example will be extrapolated from the Seismic Design Manual. The course is based on the 2016 AISC Seismic Provisions and Seismic Design Manual, 3rd Ed. This course addresses the following:

  1. Review of earthquake engineering
  2. Seismic Design of Braced Frames
  3. Seismic Design of Moment Frames
  4. Building Analysis and Diaphragm Design
  5. In-depth design example
Topics include:

  • Session 1: Introduction to Effective Seismic Design
  • Session 2: Seismic Design of Moment Frames
  • Session 3: Seismic Design of Braced Frames
  • Session 4: Seismic Design of Buildings
  • Session 5: Planning the Seismic Design
  • Session 6: Building Analysis and Diaphragm Design
  • Session 7: Moment Frames
  • Session 8: Design of the Braced Frames
