This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of seismic design for steel-framed buildings. It covers the fundamental concepts necessary for understanding how to design structures that can withstand seismic forces, with a focus on the specific requirements and guidelines outlined in the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2020.
Course Agenda:
- Module 1: Why Do We Design For Earthquakes in Canada?
- Module 2: Calculation of Seismic Loads According to NBC 2020
- Module 3: Structural Configuration
- Module 4: The Equivalent Static Force Procedure
- Module 5: Deflections and Drift Limits
- Module 6: Stability Requirements
- Module 7: Conventional Construction
- Module 8: Elements of Structures, Non-structural Components and Equipment
- Module 9: Simplified Procedure for Regions of Very Low Seismicity
This course is designed for engineers and professionals involved in the design and construction of steel-framed buildings, providing them with the knowledge and tools needed to ensure their structures are safe and compliant with current seismic design standards.
