COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Design of Dynamic Elevated Structures. It covers the structural dynamics basics and material behavior under dynamic loads; the types of dynamic loads, modeling of dynamic systems and standards and code; the mathematical formulation of dynamics and seismic analysis of elevated structures; the wind-induced vibration analysis and wave and current load analysis; the finite element method (FEM) in dynamic design and soil-structure interaction (SSI); and the elevated structural forms, load path and structural response. During this interactive course, participants will learn the design against seismic loads, wind and wave loads; the fatigue and fracture considerations, serviceability and deflection criteria; the dynamic response control systems, reliability in dynamic design, risk assessment and safety evaluation; the non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, structural health monitoring (SHM), sensor systems for vibration analysis and maintenance planning; the sustainability in dynamic design and design of tall towers, offshore platforms, elevated tanks and silos; and the team-based project simulation, load definition and modeling, dynamic analysis, design iteration and presentation of results.
