Course description and aims
This course focuses on methodologies for seismic hazard and risk assessment on which disaster planning is based. Topics include 1) characteristics of strong ground motion, 2) strong motion prediction methods, 3) earthquake loss estimation methods and 4) examples of seismic hazard and risk assessment.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the methods for strong motion prediction and the flow for loss estimation, which are important factors for seismic hazard and risk assessment.
Keywords
strong motion prediction, loss estimation, seismic risk
