SEABC - Displacement-Based Seismic Design
Following the new textbook by world-renowned earthquake engineering expert Dr. Nigel Priestley, this course will show how displacement-based seismic design can be implemented in the structural design office as a simple and rational alternative to current prescriptive methods.

Design examples, which could be carried out by hand or by spreadsheet, will be provided for different structural systems.
