Introduction To Earthquake Engineering

The NPTEL syllabus provides an outline for an introductory course on earthquake engineering. The course covers fundamental concepts of seismology, earthquake inputs like response spectra, structural dynamics for earthquake analysis, response analysis using time history and response spectrum methods, soil-structure interaction, inelastic response of structures, and base isolation design. It includes 7-8 hours of instruction on each topic, with examples and tutorial problems to illustrate key concepts. The course aims to provide undergraduate and post-graduate students, as well as practitioners, with useful knowledge of analyzing and designing structures for earthquake resistance.

COURSE OUTLINE

The course on Introduction to Earthquake Engineering provides the fundamental
concepts, principles and application of earthquake engineering in seismic
analysis and design of structures.
The course begins with the Seismology explaining the causes of occurrence of
earthquake and its characterization. The seismic analysis of the structures under
earthquake excitation is developed. The structural system modeled as discrete
and continuous system.
The concept of response spectrum analysis procedure to determine structure
response and design earthquake forces is explained. The codal provisions for
earthquake resistant design of structures as per Indian Standards are explained.
Fi nal l y, t h e course also covers the soil structure interaction and inelastic
response spectra. The advanced course material on Earthquake Engineering
will be very useful to undergraduate students, post-graduate students, teachers
and practitioners.
A number of chosen problems will be solved to illustrate the design and analysis
concepts clearly.
