    TRIBHUVAN UNIVERSITY
    INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING, Thapathali Campus
    Department of Civil Engineering
    M.Sc. Program in Earthquake Engineering
    Seismic Resistant Design of Structures 4 (3-1-0) Term: Semester II
    (March 2021)
    Rationale:
    A fundamental knowledge on the requirements of earthquake design, and behavior of structures under the ground
    motion are necessary in order to analyze and design structures rationally against seismic excitations. The course
    gives a basic understanding on the analysis and design of structures subjected to earthquakes and design of structures
    to resist strong ground motions.

    Catalog Description:
    Mode shapes and frequencies of multi degree structures, response spectrum analysis, analysis of shear
    walls, time history analysis, hydro-dynamic effect due to earthquakes, seismic resistant design of sub and
    super structures.
    Pre-requisites: Theory of Vibration

    Conduct of course:
    Lectures are scheduled 3 hours a week. Tutorial class of 1 hr. a week is aimed at strengthening the
    theoretical knowledge discussed in lecture classes by mutual discussion, direct interaction and to
    deliberate the tutorial problems, if any. A number of assignments will be given regularly during the
    course. Beside attending the regular lectures, the students are expected to carry out self-study referring as
    much literature as possible.
