Students will be familiar with the existing building typologies, the methods of structural performance assessment and design rules for traditional and engineered building types. Students should be able to evaluate the quality of structural systems, to interpret the performance of masonry and steel structures under horizontal action, to derive appropriate models and to decide upon the applicability of
equivalent or simplified ones. Students will be informed about on-going research projects and recent code developments which are linked to the course topics and options for further graduation (master thesis). Training of student’s ability to apply methods and current state in natural hazard and risk assessment. Students will be able to apply modern software tools to transfer buildings into dynamic models and to evaluate the seismic response characteristics in dependence on design situation and performance directed concepts; they will be trained to identify failure mechanism and design defects, and to evaluate appropriateness of strengthening measures. Students will be familiar with different analysis methods, techniques, and tools of empirical and analytical vulnerability assessment.
Structural performance of traditional and engineered building types (L)
Reinterpretation of observed response for different building types; building taxonomies; empirical and analytical vulnerability assessment; damage classification and fragility functions; design principles and structural solutions for traditional (masonry) and engineered (steel) type structures, basic rules for non-engineered buildings (with locally available materials); building assessment criteria for strengthening;
evaluation of applied strengthening and rehabilitation measures.
Damage assessment of unreinforced masonry structures (E, P)
Search for typical building representatives of the target regions (home countries of the participants); derivation of structural layout and simplified models of representative building types; modelling and assessment of masonry structures applying equivalent frame approach; determination of characteristic building response parameters; determination of fragility function; risk scenario for a virtual city.
