Fundamentals of Seismic Engineering (Webinar 1 - An Introduction)

In this first webinar, I cover some basic seismic concepts, talk about force-based design along with some principal short coming of this approach and discuss the need for performance-based design.

The webinar series will focus on the following areas in bridge seismic engineering, not necessarily in the described order:
(1) Fundamentals and design approaches
(2) Earthquake resisting systems and seismic load paths
(3) Equation of motion and basic introduction to seismic analysis methods
(4) Introduction to deep foundations design philosophy
(5) Detailing for seismic-resistant design

Materials covered are basic and foundational in nature. North American practice and the new Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code CSA-S6-19 philosophy is specifically emphasized.
