Many areas of the world are prone to multiple and potentially interacting natural hazards able to generate significant impacts, specifically in complex anthropized systems.
Disaster risk assessment and management are essential to ensure the sustainability and safety of the built environment and population, especially from an engineering perspective.
The class will provide the students with advanced knowledge and skills on risk assessment, with two specific focuses: (i) seismic risk assessment and mitigation of the built environment, and (ii) multi-hazard risk assessment, considering the impacts generated by multiple and potentially interacting hazards.
The course will provide the students with advanced knowledge and skills on risk assessment, with two specific focuses: (i) seismic risk assessment and mitigation of the built environment, and (ii) multi-hazard risk assessment, considering the impacts generated by multiple and potentially interacting hazards. At the end of the course, students will be able to: i) apply the concepts and definitions of seismic risk, as well as those related to multi-hazard and multi-risk frameworks; ii) conduct large-scale damage and vulnerability assessments of existing buildings in the post-earthquake emergency phase, and select the best approaches to manage multi-hazard risk; iii) critically evaluate potential seismic risk reduction policies and implement strategies for multi-hazard disaster risk reduction.
Even if no ‘formal’ prerequisites are necessary, the student is suggested to have:

The final mark obtained at the end of the class will be the average of the marks obtained separately in the two modules in which the teaching is divided. Please refer to the ‘EXAM DESCRIPTION’ session of each module for details about exams modalities.
