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 course is designed to provide the fundamental principles of seismic hazard and risk. Basic concepts of seismology and seismometry will be discussed before focusing on deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. Subsequently, methods for ground response analysis will be presented in order to provide general knowlegde on site effects (e.g., ground motion amplification, seismic slope stability, soil liquefaction). Finally, the basics of seismic microzonation and building codes will be discussed.
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:
The course consists of lectures delivered through multimedia presentations.
Due to COVID19 emergency, lectures of the first semester will be carried out online by using Microsoft Teams. Video recording will be guaranteed. Conversely, practical activities will take place in laboratory (if possible), with multiple shifts if necessary. All laboratory activities will be carried out in compliance with the capacity limits of the laboratories and the distance required by current legislation following the emergency COVID19.
Please refer to AulaWeb for further informations about the measures for the prevention and management of the epidemiological emergency caused by Covid-19.

All class schedules are posted on the EasyAcademy portal.
The exam consists of an oral test (3 questions on topics covered during the course). The exam is passed if the student has obtained a grade greater than or equal to 18.
Please refer to AulaWeb for further informations about the measures for the prevention and management of the epidemiological emergency caused by Covid-19.
The exam will focus on the topics covered during the lectures 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 lectures.
