SE0401 : Advanced Seismic & Wind Design of Reinforced Concrete (Version of IBC ASCE)

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This advanced course provides in-depth knowledge and practical skills for the seismic and wind design of reinforced concrete structures based on the latest International Building Code (IBC) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 7) standards. Participants will explore structural behavior under dynamic and lateral loads, with a focus on design principles, detailing requirements, and performance-based engineering for earthquake and wind-resistant buildings. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the response of concrete buildings to seismic codes and seismic design requirements of the 2009 IBC; the response of concrete building to wind forces, wind design requirements of the 2009 IBC & ASCE 7-05 and alternate all-heights method; the office building with dual and moment-resisting frame systems; the residential building with shear wall-frame interactive and building frame systems; the school building with moment-resistant frame system and residential building with bearing wall system; the parking structure with building frame system; and the design data, seismic load analysis, wind load analysis and design for combined load effects.
