Learn about seismic effects on structures and the concepts and principles that underlie the design of steel structures following AISC standards. Written and presented by Rafael Sabelli, this course addresses the following:
The principles of earthquake engineering
The application of those principles in the fundamental procedures of seismic design
How the material properties of steel are utilized in seismic design
Students are encouraged to use AISC’s Facts for Steel Buildings #3: Earthquakes and Seismic Design, as a resource. Engineers with little or no experience with seismic design and engineers wishing to refresh their understanding of the principles underlying seismic design will benefit from this course.
