Structural Engineering

The graduate program in the Division of Structural Engineering of the Department of Civil Engineering offers comprehensive and competitive courses on earthquake engineering, including Plastic Analysis and Design, Seismic Analysis and Design of Structures, Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Seismic Design of Steel Structures, and (Passive and Active) Structural Control. The courses are given in English. The department collaborates heavily with world-famous research center on earthquake engineering – National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (also known as NCREE. See www.ncree.org for more information.) in Taiwan to conduct research on the following topics: a) seismic hazard analysis, b) seismic behavior of structural and non-structural components, c) seismic analysis, design and retrofit of structures, d) system identification and structural health monitoring, e) passive and active structural control, and f) seismic performance-based design. The collaboration with NCREE also provides opportunities for graduate students to conduct large-scale dynamic, pseudodynamic, and quasistatic tests.
