| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course deals with the mechanism and propagation characteristics of the seismic ground motion that often greatly affects the urban society, in particular the wave generation in the earthquake fault and the ground vibration analysis, and the elastic and elastoplastic response of the structures to the seismic ground motions. The topics include the dynamic response characteristics of RC/steel structures, current seismic response control technology, basic theory and technical development of lifeline earthquake engineering, thoretical aspect of lifeline management and safety assessment learned from past damage experience. | |||
| Course Goals | This course aims to provide students with the knowledge to comprehensively understand the flow from the mechanism of earthquake occurrence and wave generation to ground motions and seismic characteristics of structures including lifelines, as well as to acquire advanced earthquake-resistant technologies and risk management methods for lifeline systems. | |||
