6. Application for Seismic Hazard Maps
7. Application for Design Ground Motions
Original materials will be distributed.
Fundamental knowledge on earthquake and ground motion will be necessary.
Attendance and reports
One of the fundamentals in seismic design of structures is to design input ground motion. Understanding of strong ground motion is indispensable for sophisticated performance design of structure.
