CVE 552 - Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering


Units: 3
When Offered: Spring
The course covers the analysis of the dynamic response of structural systems. Students are introduced to the basic concepts of seismology and structural dynamics including the evaluation of structural response to earthquake motions. Also discussed are the seismic design procedure in building codes used in the United States. This will enable students to have a better understanding of dynamic behavior of structural systems under earthquakes. Students will also use their knowledge of seismic design to prepare for the Professional Engineer’s (PE) examination, which is a mandatory section in California.
Grade Type: Letter Grade
