UWI Semester 2 Course in Performance – Based Seismic Design Including How Professional Can Access the Course 2019-2020 |
![]() |
- A SEMESTER LONG UWI COURSE FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS – Background The following considerations provide the rationale for why training in the UWI course is now urgently needed:
The mechanism for including professional engineers as students of an MSc course is that they must register as an "occasional student". This classification is recognised on the application form. An "occasional student" attends and fully participates in class but does not sit the exam. The detailed registration procedure is shown on the next page. If a student desires to sit the exam, he or she would have to register as a "specially admitted" student. This course has always had a high percentage of its cohort coming from industry. Advertisement Information:- Course Description: The "Performance-Based Seismic Design" course enables engineers to understand and appropriately apply the most recent building codes: IBC 2018, and the ASCE 7-16, ASCE 41-17. These skills are urgently needed given new developments and building safety requirements placing emphasis on the concept of risk analysis as applied to new and existing buildings. The course can be accessed via registration at the UWI St. Augustine School of Graduate Studies as an "occasional student" in which case the student attends all classes, participates fully, including the undertaking of all coursework, but does not write the final exam. There are 2 practical coursework exercises involving the quantitative assessment and retrofit design of an existing building. There at 12 consecutive sessions from 4:00-6:00pm usually on Thursdays and beginning from the third week of January. Learning Outcomes: The student shall: know and understand the principles of performance-based seismic design of buildings per ASCE 41; be able to calculate the structural seismic retrofitting requirements of a building; be able to determine the management strategies for seismic structural retrofitting; know and understand the principles of the probabilistic risk assessment of a building; be able to calculate the approximate seismic risk of a given building; know and understand the principles of the regional seismic risk assessment per HAZUS. Target Students: Practising structural or civil engineers. Course Syllabus: Introduction to the principles of Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering and ConsequenceBased Earthquake Engineering; The Seismic Rehabilitation Design Process and Objectives; Capacity Spectrum NSP Analysis; Coefficient Method NSP Analysis; Acceptance Criteria for Systems analysed by Linear Methods and Nonlinear Methods; Retrofit and Management Strategies and Systems; SACFEMA Reliability Analysis Method; Vulnerability Analysis Methods; Software for Pushover Analysis and NDP Analysis; Regional Seismic Risk Assessment; Introduction to HAZUS. Instructor: Richard Clarke PhD (quantitative seismic assessment and retrofit design specialist). How To Access the Course:- The university accommodates this possibility via enrolment as a student with the special designation of "Occasional Student". As indicated, the Occasional Student attends class along with students pursuing degrees or diplomas, but does not take the exam, but participates fully including submission of coursework exercises. If the student's attendance is above the minimum, the student receives a certificate of attendance, at least from the department. Important: If the following process is not completed before the start of the lectures, attend class while the process continues. Procedure:-
