Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

(OP)
I am looking for continuing education oppertunities to development in the structural seismic/earthquate field. I have done some interent searches and everything thing I see is very high level. I want to dig into details and a good solid understanding. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

The way I learned it was apparently like most others, go thru a previous project calc set and self-teach it mostly, and ask questions to co-workers if stumped on some item.

Also, if concrete, I believe ACI used to publish solved building design examples.

Check the AISC website for steel info.

RE: Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

Ps - also try PCA for concrete, Modern Steel Construction for well, ahh, steel.
What about Structural Engineer license exam prep books?

I think buying solved examples is better than continuing education -

RE: Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

I agree with the PE Exam prep books. A manual that has been very helpful to me is the Seismic Design Review Workbook for the California Civil Professional Engineering Examination by Steven T. Hiner and an also the Seismic Desing of Building Structures by Michael R. Liindeburg. Hope this helps.

RE: Seismic Engineering Continuing Education

I believe if you take the AISC seismic seminar (check there website for locations and times) they are giving out free copies of the Seismic Design Manual. So, if you need the reference and you'd like a refresher course it seems like a good deal to me.

Note: I've never been to one, so I can't personally vouch for it.
