Seismology to Earthquake Engineering

This course ranges from the earth structure, the generation of earthquakes and seismic waves by faults to the seismic response of soils, foundations and structures as well as seismic risk. It is consequently aimed at undergraduates, graduates and professionals interested in engineering seismology, earthquake engineering or seismic risk. It investigates various technical fields: rock mechanics, soil dynamics, structural dynamics and dynamic soil-structure interaction. Various types of sessions ar

• Understand seismic wave propagation
• Understand earthquake generation
• Assess structural response to seismic shaking

• Basic knowledge of civil engineering and mathematics
