Earthquake Engineering Course

This document provides an overview of the CIEM 534 Earthquake Engineering course offered in Spring 2011. The course covers basic seismology, seismic response of structures, principles of earthquake resistant design, seismic building codes, and structural health monitoring. It is taught by Dr. Chih-Chen Chang and includes homework assignments and an exam. Grades are based 50% on homework and 50% on exam scores. Course topics include earthquake characteristics, response of single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom structures, earthquake response spectra, seismic design codes, and structural monitoring technologies.
