CE 448 Earthquake Accommodation and Design

Effects of earthquake shaking in the design of buildings, pipelines, bridges, and dams. Incorporating the earthquake hazard assessment for a project in the design process. The goal of this course is to allow geologists, geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, and architects to see how their particular tasks are impacted by the earthquake effects. Types of analysis used to evaluate earthquake design requirements in several disciplines, including: geology, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and architecture. This course is the same as G 477; course may be taken only once for credit. Also offered for graduate-level credit as CE 548 and may be taken only once for credit.
