I. Course Description:
USTP Mission This course deals with the fundamentals and basic concepts of seismic design as well as the minimum standards for the analysis, design, and
 Bring the world of work construction of earthquake resistive structures. The course covers the introduction to seismology and seismic analysis of buildings and
(industry) into the actual higher structures, effects of earthquake on bearing capacity, procedure for the design of earthquake resistant structures, calculation of seismic
education and training of forces, and dynamic analysis of structures. It also deals with the determination of loads of structures due to motions, methods of analysis for
students; lateral forces, approximate dynamic analysis, time history analysis, concepts of mass, damping, stiffness of structures, design for inelastic
 Offer entrepreneurs the behavior and retrofitting of existing building. Critical building configurations and appropriate methods of analysis are also given emphasis.
opportunity to maximize their Applications and specifications as applied to vertical and horizontal structures are also given importance. A thorough knowledge and
business potentials through a proficiency in Structural Theory is imperative.
