EXPECTED PARTICIPANTS
his course is aimed at professional engineers
Tand post graduate students who are interested to work in earthquake engineering. Bachelors degree in civil engineering is a prerequisite for this
training course. Seats are limited (maximum 25).
BENEFITS OF THE COURSE
his short course aims to introduce the basic
Tfundamentals of earthquake engineering resistant design as provided in existing (1993) and proposed (2010) provisions in the Bangladesh
National Building Code. The participants will be
exposed to new features present in the new seismic
design provisions (2010) of the updated Building
Code. The participants will also have software related
training with respect to application of new code.
