(3 units). Review of seismic hazards in Canada, building code provisions for earthquake loads, uniform hazard spectra, linear elastic modal response spectrum analysis, linear elastic time history analysis, equivalent static force procedure, advanced state-of-the-art nonlinear modeling techniques including the finite element method and fiber modeling, emerging methods such as performance-based earthquake engineering and displacement-based design, ductility concepts, plastic hinge formulations, capacity design philosophy for seismic resistance, seismic analysis and design of common seismic force resisting systems including slender and squat shear walls, moment resisting frames, coupled shear walls, and coupling beams, shear wallmoment resisting frame interaction, and lessons learned from recent earthquakes. This course is equivalent to CIVJ 5312 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
