• BACKGROUNDTall buildings are a special class of structures with their own peculiar characteristics and requirements.

Tall buildings are often occupied by a large number of people. Therefore, their damage, loss of functionality, or collapse can have very severe and adverse consequences on the life and limb and on theeconomy of the affected regions. Each tall building represents a significant investment and as such tallbuilding analysis and design is generally performed using more sophisticated techniques andmethodologies. Furthermore, typical building code provisions are usually developed without particular attention to tall buildings, which represent a very small portion of the construction activity in most regions.Therefore, understanding modern approaches to seismic analysis and design of tall buildings can be

very valuable to structural engineers and researchers who would like to have a better grasp on designand performance of these icons of a modern megacity.

• OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with the state-of-the-art in seismic analysis anddesign of tall buildings from the perspective of the United States academics and practitioners. At the endof the course, students should be able to: Understand common structural systems utilized in tall buildings and their design philosophy. Perform preliminary design and analysis of various structural systems for tall buildings. Conduct site-specific seismic hazard analysis and modeling, including necessary ground motion

selection and modification. Develop analytical models for tall buildings using state-of-the-art structural analysis programs and

assess structural response under seismic excitation using such analytical tools. Distinguish between prescriptive design methods and modern performance-based design methods for

tall buildings. Understand the differences between component-based design and system-based design procedures

for tall buildings. Conduct tall building performance evaluation both at component and system level based on state-of-

the-art methods and latest guidelines. Effectively participate in structural design of tall buildings for specified performance objectives at

component and system levels.

• PARTICIPATIONIn addition to UME School students, a maximum of 20 external participants may be accepted to thecourse, under the payment of a 500e fee. Special financial conditions are, however, in place for University researchers or students, to whom a fee of not more than 300e is requested. Those wishing to attend thecourse should contact the UME School Secretariat.

• ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS

Farzad Naeimis the Vice President and General Counsel at John A. Martin& Associates, Inc. in Los Angeles, California. He received his

Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from University of SouthernCalifornia in 1982 and his J.D. with highest honors in 2002.In 2007, he received the Fazlur Khan Medal for lifetimeachievements from Council on Tall Buildings and UrbanHabitat. He has served two terms (1995 and 2011) as thePresident of the Los Angeles Tall Buildings Structural DesignCouncil. Dr. Naeim is a Past-President and an honorary member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute(EERI). Farzad has published four textbooks, more than 140peer-reviewed papers, and has developed 45 different

software systems for earthquake engineering design andeducation. Dr. Naeim has served as Technical Director for many landmark structures in California and across the UnitedStates.

Farzin Zareianis an Associate Professor of Engineering at the University of California-Irvine and his research is focused in the area of Performance Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE). Withinthis area, his research efforts focus on applied structuralmodeling (buildings and bridges) for enhancement of PBEE,appropriate characterization of structural damping, and thedevelopment of tools for implementation of PBEE by engineering practice. Straddling the boundary of academiaand industry, his research requires a fundamental

understanding of the physical response of structures, as wellas practical design issues. Dr. Zareian received his Ph.D. inStructural Engineering from Stanford University in 2006. Hehas authored 8 book chapters and more than 50 peer reviewed papers.
