Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers topics related to advanced structural analysis and design. The paper will have a specific focus on lateral and dynamic loading, specifically as applied to buildings under seismic loads. Structural dynamics will be covered considering single and multiple degrees of freedom structures under free and seismic loading. Application of analysis methods to structural design for earthquakes is covered.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

This class has regularly schedule assessments. Assessments are designed to provide you with opportunities to practice material as it is taught, increasing your ability to learn and internalise the concepts. This class is 100% internally assessed. The majority of marks come from assignments that are due every two weeks covering fundamental topics on seismic design and analysis. There is a test approximately halfway through the course to check student knowledge of the initial topics. At the end of the semester, there is an oral presentation/test allowing the student to present current research in the area of earthquake engineering.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
