This course will focus on the classification of non-structural building elements and their performance in earthquakes. Seismic analysis of non-structural building elements will be conducted using direct and cascading methods. Current regulations and guidelines for seismic design and non-structural elements from North America, Europe and New Zealand will be examined. Cased studies will be reviewed to illustrate seismic performance and fragility of specific non-structural building elements and systems.
Subject to approval of the Head of Department or the Programme Director.
