This is a beginner level course dealing with seismology, basics of structural dynamics and an introduction to design of buildings according to IS 1893 and IS 13920. The basic principles of plate boundaries, elastic rebound theory, seismic waves, solution to equations of motion for free and forced, undamped and damped, single and multiple degrees of freedom system along with response and design spectra are studied and are applied to the design of earthquake resistant buildings according to IS 1893 and IS 13920. Design of structures will be reaffirmed on prevalent softwares (STAAD Pro, SAP etc.) of civil engineering building design so as to find out practical implications of classroom teaching.
