| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In recent years, as the urban society becomes more dense and high-functioning, the factor of disasters become more complex and the risk of disasters have risen. Therefore, the necessity of the integrated disaster mitigation measures before the disaster, immediately after the disaster, and long after the disaster is pointed out. In this lecture, the actual damage by past earthquakes and its generation process, methods to predict strong motions and methods to predict building damages based on predicted ground motions, technique to evaluate earthquake-resistant performance actual buildings, risk evaluation methods of fire by earthquakes and tsunami in urban area and its damage estimation method, is explained. | ||
| Course Goals | Understand the seismic risk evaluation, fire risk evaluation and evaluation of impact of disasters for structures and urban systems, and the disaster prevention countermeasures and learn about prediction methods for disaster management and the basics to think by oneself about its policy. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
Mechanism of disasters by earthquakes, 2 times, What is urban disaster management? Mechanism of disasters by earthquakes, source mechanisms for disastrous earthquakes in and around Japan, ground motion generation process, seismic intensity and magnitude, characteristics of observed ground motion will be explained from previous earthquake disasters. Basics of wave propagation and strong ground motion, 3 times, Wave propagation analysis and strong motion simulation Structural response estimation, 5 times, Modeling of structures and prediction of their responses Mechanism of post-earthquake fires and disaster estimation, 2 times, Earthquake risk analysis considering of the post-earthquake fires Mechanism of Tsunami and Tsunami fire and disaster estimation, 2 times, Evaluation of hazard by Tsunami fires Student Assessment, 1 time, Assessment of the how much students have achieved the learning objectives. |
