Area of Study :

At the end of the course, the students will be able to:  Define the difference between the static and dynamic analysis.  Identify the dynamic properties of the structure.  Obtain the response of a SDOF system subjected to harmonic, rectangular pulse and general load.  Identify areas of high, medium and low seismicity in Egypt.  Identify the arrivals of P- and S- seismic waves using the record (time history) of an earthquake.  Calculate, analytically, the seismic response of SDOF systems to idealized ground accelerations (harmonic and rectangular pulses).  Recognize the peak-displacement, peak-velocity, and peak-acceleration portions of a seismic design response spectrum.  List the causes of plan- and vertical- structural irregularities of buildings.  Apply the simplified and multi modal response spectrum methods in seismic design of domestic structures using Egyptian Code for loads.
