Course contents :
|
| The course is divided into three different parts having almost the same importance: design and analysis of structures in fire, under seismic loading and, with less details, under several other random actions, natural or resulting from human activity (impact, blasting, wind,...) |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this class, the student will able to design and analyse a structure under fire or seismic conditions. He/She will have a general knowledge of the legal frame concerning these actions on civil engineering structures. Furthermore, he/she will know the different strategies that lead to a sane structural behaviour in case of major hazard.
The lecture develops critical thinking skills and creativity with regards to the unusual load paths that have to be imagined. |
