This course delivers practical advice through the use of worked examples on dynamic analysis, conceptual design for earthquake resistance and seismic design of structural elements to Eurocode 8. Emphasis is placed on concrete and steel buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

Understand the dynamic analysis of buildings
Carry out the dynamic analysis of a 2DOF frame by hand
Appreciate the principles of conceptual design of earthquake resistant structures
Describe the provisions of Eurocode 8
Apply the performance requirements and compliance criteria of Eurocode 8
Carry out building element design to Eurocode 8 by hand

Intended for

Graduate engineer
Mid-career engineer
Academic/Researcher

Entry criteria

Attendance to Eurocode 8: an introduction to seismic design of buildings is strongly recommended
In alternative, for direct entry to this advanced course, it is expected that attendees have some experience in dynamic and seismic analysis

Prof Costas Georgopoulos is a distinguished academic and practising engineer with many years’ unique multi-sector experience in seismic design, including conventional buildings in Greece and state-of-the-art structures in the UK (Trident Submarine Refitting Facility at Rosyth and Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station). Costas sits on the BSI B/525/8 committee on EC8 and the IStructE Seismic & Dynamic Events Panel.

Dr Hau is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). A recipient of the NUS President Graduate Fellowship (2002), his PhD studied long-distance earthquake effects from Sumatra on Singapore buildings. He is a Chartered Structural Engineer and Professional Engineer with over 15 years of experience in buildings and infrastructure, including bridges.

Both tutors co-authored the IStructE’s Examples for the seismic design of steel and concrete buildings to Eurocode 8.
