LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT	At the end of this course, the students; 1) Students are exposed to design experience through hands-on design of an actual building. 2) The design work carried out in case studies conform to the design codes listed in the references. 3) In design applications, analytical models of buildings are prepared, analyzed numerically under the given earthquake excitations, and designed accordingly to satisfy the target performances. Almost one third of the courses are devoted to professional design applications.
