CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting ’s Post

How can we model the seismic behavior of buildings comprising both unreinforced masonry walls and reinforced concrete walls? Dr. Alessandro Paparo (Civil Engineer in T-Groupe, Graduate of EESD Lab - EPFL) gave a very interesting lecture on this topic for the third offer of CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting 2023-2024. #FEmodelling #seismicevaluation

Attended a fascinating 1-hour webinar @ Engineering Institute of Technology on Large-Scale Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Retrofit today! Learned about seismic demand and resistance factors which depend on the structural properties of the existing structure and seismic conditions of the building location. It was great to gain insights into seismic performance checks. Excited to apply these new learnings to my upcoming career. #Reinforced Concrete #Seismic Retrofit

Practical Limit State Foundation Design Workshop (1.8 CEUs) Know More & Register Today: - https://lnkd.in/dJTnQpHK This course deals with all aspects of modern good practice in foundation design. These include: the importance of both the geological and geotechnical aspects of the ground conditions, current limit analysis methods for bearing capacity, and definition of factors of safety. The various settlement analyses and their underlying assumptions and reliability are discussed, together with a thorough treatment of the design of shallow, deep (piled) foundations and Retaining Walls. Introduction about Helical pile design will be also given. #Structuralengineer #civilengineer #construction #provincialandmunicipalgovernments

🔻 Important! 🔻 In areas without seismic activity, connecting beams serve a valuable purpose by effectively managing horizontal shear forces and minimizing differential settlements. In seismic regions, connecting beams are absolutely essential as they mitigate the uneven distribution of stress in spread footings and ensure a high level of fixed-end support for the columns. #structural #civil #structuralengineering #civilengineering #construction #arhitecture #concrete #concretedesign #buildingdesign #structuralengineer #civilengineer #civilengineerstudent
