Five days Course for Engineers
On
Seismic Design Of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
(26 - 30 November, 2012)
At
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar
VGEC Complex, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad - 382424
Course Objectives:
The aim of the course is to provide the participants an overview on seismic design procedures for multi-storied reinforced concrete buildings. At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
-
Have an overall understanding of the seismic design concepts, procedures and current practices to enable them to plan and direct the construction activity appropriately.
Understand the methodology of seismic design to be able to execute a proper design.
Have a better appreciation of various construction details with respect to seismic response.
Participants:
The course is designed for, a) Civil engineers engaged in design and construction of structures, b) Senior professionals responsible for directing these activities, c) Teachers and Researchers.
Course Faculty:
Dr. Sudhir K. Jain: Professor, Director – IIT Gandhinagar, working in the areas of Earthquake Engineering, Structural Dynamics.
