This course describes the ASCE/SEI 7 procedures for determining the required seismic strength, stiffness, and detailing of structures in the Seismic Design Category (SDC) B through SDC F. The list below indicates these steps and identifies the section in which these steps are discussed.

• Select the structural system
• Identify system design coefficients
• Check for configuration irregularities
• Calculate seismic loads
• Analyze and design structural elements
• Check drift and stability
• Design diaphragms
• Detail connections and other elements.

The objective of this course is to assist a licensed design professional, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers and/or a licensed general contractor to deeply know, and understand the seismic analysis, and design of the structures based on ASCE/SEI 7-22 Code.
