5 sections • 14 lectures • 1h 8m total length

Introduction2:15
Explore how earthquakes affect buildings, and learn to design from A to Z with etabs and sap2000 to international standards, examining flexibility, ground shaking, and beam resistance.

How earthquakes are caused & What are their effects on structures ?4:10
In this lecture you will learn how earthquake take place and what are their effect on structures
How Architectural Features Affects Buildings during Earthquakes ?4:42
In this lecture you will understand how the architectural shapes of structure affect their behavior in resisting the earthquakes.
Buildings reaction during ground shaking.

How Buildings Twists During Earthquakes ?3:32
In this lecture i will explain the overall concept of twisting and what we have torsion in the buildings during the ground shaking, along with some solutions to how enhance their performance
How to Make Buildings Ductile for Good Seismic Performance ?5:52
In this lecture you will have a general idea about building material and we will feature the importance of the ductility and its importance in the structures.
Building Flexibility Importance in Resisting Earthquake5:20
In this lecture you will understand the behavior of flexible buildings VS ductile and how buildings oscillate during earthquakes.
Building twisting during earthquake & Importance of their ductility

Is Vertical Reinforcement Required in Masonry Buildings ?4:33
In this lecture we will highlight the performance of masonry walls and the importance of vertical reinforcement of these walls,
How do RC Beams Resist Earthquakes ?6:41
Explore how RC beams resist earthquake forces by detailing longitudinal bars, hoops, flexural and shear failures, and essential design rules like 135-degree bends and spacing.
How do RC Columns Resist Earthquakes ?7:21
Building components reaction during ground shaking

Are Open-Ground Storey Buildings Vulnerable in Earthquakes4:52
Why are Short Columns more Damaged During Earthquakes?4:07
How to Reduce Earthquake Effects on Buildings ?4:40
Explore how base isolation and seismic dampers reduce earthquake effects on buildings by decoupling ground motion and absorbing energy, improving performance for low to medium sized structures.
Why are Load Paths Important in Buildings ?6:22
Understand how load paths transfer inertia forces from building mass to the foundation and soil via horizontal slabs and vertical elements, with openings and robust connections shaping earthquake performance.
Why do Buildings Sink into the Ground during Earthquakes ?4:12

Requirements

Basics of building structural elements
Passion to learn basics & concepts of building behavior to resist earthquakes

Description

The intent of this course is to give you a steady clear idea about buildings behavior during earthquakes and how it's possible to enhance its behavior in resisting ground shaking.

The importance of this course is giving the engineer the capability to optimize the adopted structural system behavior and be able to understand from where came the standards' requirements.

Multiple concepts and important subjects will be covered in a straight forward manner, short videos and quizzes, in order to provide the essential information without wasting your time.
