Prerequisites: CE 634. Practical design
solutions for resisting the damaging effects of earthquake ground motions and other severe
dynamic excitations. Factors which control dynamic response in elastic and inelastic
ranges, and the nature of severe dynamic excitations. Theories of structural analysis and
dynamics, and modern design methodologies on the behavior of structures
