  1. Shakes and Quakes A Structural Engineer's View Yahya Gino Kurama, Associate Professor Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences University of Notre Dame Introduction to Engineering Program University of Notre Dame July 16, 2004

  2. STRUCTURES • Structure: “any assemblage of materials that is intended to sustain loads” • Nearly every plant and animal, and nearly all works of man have to sustain forces without breaking, so practically everything is a structure of one type or another.

  3. Buildings Dams Tunnels Domes Bridges Civil Structures Civil Structures areBIG!

  4. How Old is Structural Engineering? Man fears Time, yet Time fears the Pyramids Arab proverb Great Pyramids Sphinx

  5. Structural Loads • Gravity loads (self weight, people, furniture, etc.) • Earth and water pressure • Dynamic wind load effects • Dynamic occupant effects • Earthquakes Structures respond to these dynamic loads, moving, swaying, and …. SOMETIMES FAILING!

  6. Wind Excited Structures

  7. Human Excited Structures

  8. Human Excited Structures

  9. Human Excited Structures

  10. Earthquake Excited Structures

  11. BUILDING STRUCTURES • Masonry • Reinforced concrete frame • Steel frame • Reinforced concrete wall

  12. Hagia Sophia, Istanbul Pantheon, Rome San Pietro Citta’ del Vaticano, Rome Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Can You Recognize These Masonry Structures?

  13. BRICKS, STONES, and MORTAR What are Masonry Structures Made of?

  14. And ... Under an Earthquake ... THEY BREAK!!

  15. And They Break!

  16. Empire State Building New York City Marina City Chicago Transamerica Building San Francisco John Hancock Building Chicago Sears Tower Chicago Where are These Frame Structures?

  17. How Do We Build Them?
