Building Dynamics: Earthquake-Proof Construction

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Building Dynamics: Earthquake-Proof Construction
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Civil and structural engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2017
Module code: BIMA391
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

[updated 28.09.2020]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

BIMA391 (P110-0093) Civil and structural engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2017 , semester 3, optional course
BMA311 (P110-0168) Civil and structural engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2022 , semester 1, optional course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Lang
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Lang

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will:
_ be familiar with questions pertaining to building dynamics.
_ have learned the basic concepts of structural dynamics such as natural frequency, normal modes, resonance, dynamic load factor, tuning, time integration, modal analysis
_ be able to model systems with regard to their stiffness and mass distribution and calculate them by means of manual calculation methods or EDP.
_ be able to perform earthquake verifications using simplified procedures and assess the limits of their use.
