Basics of Earthquake Eng., Seismology & Seismic Risks

Basics of Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Analysis Methods, Seismology & Seismic Risks of Built Environments

This course, includes the basics of earthquake engineering, seismic analysis methods, seismology, and seismic risks of built environments. In this course, you will learn about: 1- Seismology, earth structure, and layers and plate tectonics and continent movements which are the main cause of earthquakes. After that, I will focus on faults and different types of faults that can cause damage. 2- How scientists record the earthquakes and different seismic waves which are very important for earthquake engineers. 3- How to find the earthquake epicenter and what are the different seismic scales. 4- World's seismicity followed by the phenomena during and after the earthquakes. 5- Seismograph parameters and Gutenberg Richter law. 6- How to calculate earthquake return period 7- Earthquake response spectrum. 8- All the seismic analysis methods of structures such as equivalent static analysis, response spectrum analysis and time history analysis. 9- Seismic risk parameters and how to reduce these risks. 10- The impacts of the built environments and humans and the economic aspect of earthquakes. 11- Different mitigation measures in order to reduce earthquake risk. By the end of this course, you will get a deep understanding of earthquake engineering, seismic analysis methods, seismology, and seismic risks of built environments. THIS COURSE IS BENEFICIAL FOR: • Earthquake engineering students • Geotechnical engineering students • Civil engineering students • Structural engineering students
