Full Description
This exam assesses the theoretical principles governing structural responses during seismic events. Candidates will articulate various models that predict structural behavior under seismic loads, emphasizing fundamental concepts such as dynamical analysis and modal response.
Understanding these concepts is essential as it informs the design and retrofitting of structures to ensure safety and resilience. This knowledge directly impacts urban planning and infrastructure development, which is particularly crucial in seismically active regions.
The exam will test candidates' ability to verbally articulate their understanding of structural dynamics and related geophysical phenomena, focusing on critical evaluation and synthesis of the theoretical frameworks involved.
Candidates may also engage in discussions around the implications of these theories on contemporary practices in earthquake engineering, thereby demonstrating their comprehension of the subject.
