Course Description : The course deals with the fundamentals and basic concepts of seismic
design as well as the minimum standards for the analysis, design and
construction of earthquake resistive structures. The course covers the
introduction to seismology and seismic analysis of building and structures,
effects of earthquake on bearing capacity, procedure for the design of
earthquake resistant structures, calculation of seismic forces and
dynamic analysis of structures. It also deals with the determination of
loads of structures due to motions, methods of analysis for lateral forces,
approximate dynamic analysis, time history analysis, concepts of mass,
damping, stiffness of structures, design for inelastic behavior and retrofitting of
existing building. Critcal building configurations and appropriate methods of
analysis are also given emphasis. Applications and specifications as applied to
vertical and horizontal structures are also given importance. A thorough
knowledge and proficiency in Structural Theory is imperative.

CLASSROOM POLICIES
1. Absences. Absences are counted starting with absence from the first day of class for the
semester. The students is required to submit an excuse slip for every absent made to the
guidance office and he/she will be admitted if he/she presented an approved readmission slip
approved by the Dean. Allowed number of absences is not more than 20% of the required
number of class.
2. Make-up works. Make-up exams will be given provided that the reason for not taking the
exam is excused as stipulated in the admission slip.
3. Accessibility. Everyone has an equal right to be educated efficiently and comfortably. Students
with disabilities are encouraged to discuss their individual needs and accommodation (e.g.
sitting in front or those with visual or hearing problems).
4. Collaboration. Students are encouraged to do group study since it is usually more effective
than you’re all by yourself during exams. Strictly, no collaboration of any form during quizzes
and major exams. Likewise, asking other people to do your work for you is not considered as
collaboration effort, but it is a form of academic dishonesty.
5. Final Grade. of students wil be posted on-line. Students can meet with the faculty with
regards to the computation of grades.
6. Deadlines. Deliverables not submitted on or before the deadline due to unacceptable reasons
will receive a 10% deduction for each day late after the deadline not including weekends and
holidays.
