Introduction to Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings
Learn about seismic rehabilitation methods for reinforced concrete buildings in this mini-course by Hamid ElDarwich. Perfect for engineering and architecture undergraduate students, this course covers base isolation, tuned mass dampers, CFRP wrapping, steel jacketing, and more. Gain a basic understanding of these methods and their applications for future rehabilitation projects. Compare the effectiveness of each method on a project basis to make informed decisions. Enhance your knowledge and make structures more resistant to earthquakes.
What you’ll learn
- Rehabilitation Methods of RC Buildings
- Tuned Mass Damper and Slosh Tanks
- CFRP and Steel Jacketing
- Adding Structural Elements & Dampers
- Introduction to Earthquake Effects
A Civil Engineering Course by Hamid ElDarwich, Civil Engineerig Philosophy Founder:
Seismic Rehabiliation is the modfication of existing structure to make it more resistant to earthquakes. During the unergrad studies, engineers spend their time learning about the design of buildings rather than maintaining or rehabilitating the existing structure.
In this minicourse, I will cover some the methods that can be used for seismic rehabiliation of Rreinforced Concrete Buildings; this course is meant to be only a basic course because each method I will be covering desevres a whole course on its own; I have summarized the basic concepts about these methods that the engineers need to know in case they are assigned a rehabiliation project.
The methods that will be covered are:
– Base Isolation,
– TMD (Tuned Mass Damper)
– CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Wrapping
– Steel Jacketing
– Adding New Structural Elements
– Adding Supplemtary Dampers
– Slosh Tanks
Finally, I will provide a comparison between these methods per project basis; this comparison will help the engineer decide when to use this or that method for a specific project.
Who this course is for:
- Engineering & Architecture Undergraduate Students
