In part six of this series, you'll examine the role of design management in seismic performance—particularly, the use of construction observation and performance-based design.
In part five of this series, you'll examine factors that must be considered when retrofitting existing buildings, plus review seismic design strategies for mitigating earthquake forces on building structures.
In part four of this series, you'll explore how architects can design for better seismic mitigation through a series of building case examples.
In part three of this series, you'll learn how architects can use the analysis and documentation of the effects of seismic movements to design for better seismic response.
In part two of this series, you'll explore seismic vulnerability in a range of common building types and the underlying causes of their failures in the event of an earthquake through case examples.
