Course Description:
Design of steel buildings for earthquake resistance. Topics include: (i) behavior of various steel systems
subjected to earthquake ground motions, (ii) seismic design of these systems following current design
criteria, (iii) analysis for design and for performance evaluation, (iv) repair, rehabilitation, and retrofit of
existing or earthquake damaged buildings, and (v) current research on innovative steel systems. Systems
emphasized include moment resistant frames, braced frames, and steel shear walls. Component and
connection design are presented in detail.
Pre/Co requisites:
Prerequisite: CE 591. Pre or Co requisite: CE571. Authorized equivalent courses or consent of instructor
may be used in satisfying course pre- and co-requisites.
Required Books:
Bruneau, M., et al., Ductile Design of Steel Structures, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY, 1997.

Homework, Exams, and Grading:
There will be no exams, but quizzes may be given. Homework may be assigned periodically. There will
be an individual course project. Your final course grade will be determined as follows: course project
50%; homework, participation, quizzes, other 50%.
Ethics:
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Please refer to the section, “Definition of Academic
Dishonesty,” on the following web page: http://www.purdue.edu/odos/osrr/integrity.htm. Any incidents
of academic dishonesty will, at the very least, result in zero credit for the associated assignment or exam.
Further penalties, such as immediate failure of the course and/or referral to the Dean of Students, are at
the discretion of the instructor.
