CODE 94639 ACADEMIC YEAR 2019/2020 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 1 ENGINEERING FOR NATURAL RISK MANAGEMENT 10553 (LM-26) - SAVONA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR GEO/10 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION SAVONA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: GEOHAZARDS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course will consist of 40 hours of lessons dealing with topics related to seismic risk. The aim is to provide basic skills of seismic hazard, local seismic response, seismic microzonation, seismic monitoring, and post-earthquake emergency management. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course is designed to provide the fundamental principles of seismic hazard and risk mitigation. Basic concepts of seismology, earthquakes, and strong ground motion will be firstly presented to introduce procedures of deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. Subsequently, methods for ground response analysis will be discussed in order to provide insight into problems as site effects and seismic slope stability. The course will end presenting procedures and systems for seismic monitoring and earthquake early warning. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The aim of the course is to train the student on the theme of seismic risk. The goal is to create a figure with skills in: seismic hazard site response regional seismic microzonization post-earthquake emergency TEACHING METHODS The course consists of lectures delivered through multimedia presentations. SYLLABUS/CONTENT - Basics of seismology: Earthquakes and seismicity Seismic waves Wave propagation Stress and strain Magnitude and macrosismic intensity Seismic cycle - Seismic monitoring and early warning: Seismic monitoring networks Early warning systems - Seismic hazard: Seismic catalog Seismogenic zoning and faults Ground-shaking parameters Ground motion prediction equations Methods for probabilistic or deterministic hazard estimates - Ground Seismic Response: Ground motion amplification (1D, 2D, 3D site effects) Experimental and numerical methods for ground response analysis Co- and post-seismic effects: earthquake-induced landslides, soil liquefaction Seismic microzonation - Seismic codes for buildings, seismic microzonation, and Emergency Limit Conditions (CLE) assessment RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Teaching material will be provided during the course (all lectures will be stored on Aulaweb) S.L.
