And Geomatic EngineeringSwiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich Switzerland时间(Time): 2013年3月29日(周五)下午2:00-3:30 地点(Venue): Civil Engineering Building B504 主持人(Chair): 周颖 教授
内容提要(Outline): Communities are complex systems of people, structures and infrastructure. Response of communities to disasters is much more than the sum of the responses of its constitutive parts. In this talk I will present a proposal for a probabilistic performance-based framework for engineering resilient communities. I will attempt to define the seismic resilience of communities, and to describe the properties of a performance-based community-level seismic design framework. Then, I will illustrate the fundamental elements that constitute the new framework. I will conclude by focusing on the definition and selection of performance acceptance criteria and discuss the new research needed to implement such design framework in civil engineering practice.
报告人(About the Speaker): Dr. Božidar Stojadinović is the Chair of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. Before coming to ETH, he was a Professor with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His degrees are in Civil Engineering: PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995, MS from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1990 and BS from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 1988. His primary research interests include performance-based earthquake engineering, seismic response modification techniques, behavior of composite structural elements, dynamics of complex structures, and development of the hybrid simulation method.
招生信息(Recruiting): Professor Stojadinović is currently recruiting doctoral students (both at ETH and at Tongji, through a multi-year CSC Fellowship) who are interested in the areas of development of the hybrid simulation testing methodology, seismic and fire resistance of structures, seismic response modification of masonry structures, and optimization of life-cycle costs of civil infrastructures exposed to persistent and intermittent environmental loads. The students interested in studying at ETH Zurich in Switzerland are welcome to join the seminar and are encouraged to ask the speaker questions or find more information at http://www.ibk.ethz.ch/st/index_EN and http://www.global.ethz.ch |
