Seismic Design for Architects - Skills and Strategies
This course focuses on seismic design principles for architects to develop structural configurations that are sound against seismic forces. Topics covered include seismic action, structural systems, irregularities, and strategies for risk reduction.

1. General information about course 1. General information about course Title of the course: SEISMIC DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTS Professor: Elena Dumova-Jovanoska Institution: Ss.Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje E-mail: dumova@gf.ukim.edu.mk Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
2. Description of the course 2. Description of the course An architect, should have the skills to conceive the structural configuration at the preliminary design stage, which not only satisfies programmatic requirements and his or her design ideas, but is structurally sound with respect to seismic forces. The seismic codes say nothing about seismic design, which is the act of conceiving a strategy for the reduction of seismic risk and the structural/architectural systems that will accomplish it. This course is intended to provide the means by which the architect (with considerable diligence) can acquire these skills. Earthquakes and ground shaking How buildings resist earthquakes Seismic design philosophy Structural system Irregularities Nonstructural elements Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
3. Target group 3. Target group and and prerequisites prerequisites Target group/Learners profile Students of architecture Practicing architects who did not had opportunity to learn this topic in the frame of regular studies. Prerequisites (required pre-knowledge and experiences) Basic statics of structures Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
4. 4. Learning Learning outcomes outcomes Clear understanding of terms seismic design Understanding of seismic action and the way structures resist it Awareness of different behavior of the structure under vertical and horizontal loads Knowledge of basic structural systems for resistance of seismic action Awareness of concept of regularity/irregularity of the structural system Understanding of basic types of horizontal and vertical irregularities and strategies to overcome them Agreement number 2018 3234 / 001 001 Project reference number 598719-EPP-1-2018-1-MK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
