Dr. sc. techn. ETH Maurice Y. Brunner
at the BFH-AHB in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, in the winter term/summer term
The module is organised as a written module paper.
In case the number of participants is sufficient, the module can be offered as
a course:
2 contact hours/week lecture
1 hour/week tutorials or presentations
150 hours
In the event that the module is offered as a course, the hours are broken
down as follows:
� 30 contact hours
� 30 hours preparation and follow-up work at home, exam preparation
� 90 hours supervised self-directed study
Admission to Master Degree Course in Wood Technology
Introductory lectures in wood construction statics and construction to the
level of Bachelor in wood engineering with specialization in timber
construction
Understanding of the fundamentals of dynamics of buildings and of
earthquake engineering.
Ability to identify problems and formulate boundary conditions; as well as the
ability to perform practical dimensioning tasks.
Fundamentals of dynamics of buildings
� single-mass and multi-mass oscillators
� free and forced oscillations
� dynamic loads: shocks, harmonic loads
� transformation of continuous systems in single-mass oscillators
� vibration damping
� vibrations induced by people, machines, nature
� reference values for vibration exposure in structural engineering and
bridge construction
� measures against induced vibrations
� case studies/tutorials
Earthquakes and timber construction
� basics of seismology
� calculation methods: design quakes, equivalent force method,
response spectra
� earthquake-proof design of buildings
� earthquake protection and structural behaviour of buildings
� dimensioning and structural design of above-ground structures
(measuring capacity)
� earthquake behaviour of buildings and bearing structures of timber
� case studies/tutorials
