The course will consist of 45 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.
The module 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 module will end presenting procedures and systems for seismic monitoring and earthquake early warning.
The aim of the module is to train the student on the theme of seismic risk. The goal is to create a figure with skills in:
The teaching consists of lectures delivered through multimedia presentations.
- Basics of seismology:
- Seismic hazard:
- Site effects:
- Risk mitigation:
- Basics of seismic risk assessment
Ricevimento: Students are received by appointment, agreed by telephone, mail, or via aulaweb.

The final exam consists of an oral test (3 questions on topics covered during the lessons). The exam is passed if the student has obtained a grade greater than or equal to 18. A question will be discounted if the student passes a mid-season exam focusing on topics related to basics of seismology.
Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Prof. Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it), the disability liaison for the Engineering study programs.
The exam will focus on the topics covered during the lessons and will aim to assess the achievement of the appropriate level of knowledge. The ability to present the topics clearly and with correct terminology will also be evaluated. The degree of detail required for each topic will be provided during lessons.
Regular attendance at lectures and laboratory exercises is strongly recommended.
