The Key Concepts of Designing Structures to Resist Earthquakes

Designing Structures to Resist Earthquakes is one of the most complex tasks you can undertake as a structural engineer. That require to you carefully consider several concepts and components to ensure your structure is earthquake resistant. I will be going through the key concepts every structural engineer needs to consider when undertaking a structural earthquake assessment of a building.

So it is important when designing structures to resist an earthquake you know the critical design areas and analysis methods you can undertake.

This video provides you with the key concepts of how to design a building to Resist an earthquake and the different earthquake analysis methods to ensure that your structures are able to resist the design load caused by an earthquake.

Earthquake analysis method range in complexity starting with
- ESA Equlianvate Static Analysis
- MRSA Modal Response Spectrum Analysis
- PA Pushover Analysis
- THA Time-History Analysis

The more complex the analysis method used to assess the earthquake forces the more accurate the assessment will be, Complex methods are also prone to modelling errors so it is always important to use a less complex earthquake analysis method to ensure your design actions are correct.

My name is Brendan and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience based in Australia. I have a wide variety of projects from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring.

This channel is to share my passion for engineering and provide entertaining short clips on:
- tips for young engineers on progressing their careers
- anyone needing a refresher on any design element
- design approaches
- Review past engineering failures to improve structural knowledge
