Courses
Nonlinear analysis of structures
This course deals with nonlinear modelling of structures under mechanical loading.
Seismic engineering
This course deals with the main aspects of seismic design and assessment of buildings including conceptual design. It covers different structural design and evaluation philosophies for new and existing reinforced concrete, steel and unreinforced masonry buildings.
Stone masonry: Past, present, and future
This course introduces students to the historical, structural, and environmental aspects of stone masonry. Emphasis is on understanding the role of stone masonry in architecture, basic structural behavior, and approaches to predict and assess the performance of stone masonry buildings.
