Course Content
|
This course provides to develop an introduction for modeling, analysis and design of structures with seismic isolation. It covers these topics: Essential Mathematics, Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering for Seismic Base Isolation, Definition of seismic hazard and risk, ground motion characteristics, isolator devices and systems; mechanical characteristics and modeling of isolators; structures with seismic isolation; code provisions for seismic isolation; isolation systems with dampers.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
