Courses

 

Seismic Hazard Analysis and Assessment

 

This course is designed for the students who require knowledge, background and a better understanding for the approaches and methodologies behind seismic risk assessment. It provides theoretical fundamentals and practical training in applied seismology, microzonation and seismic hazard assessment, especially for those students who will engage in seismic zoning and hazard assessment.

 

Selected Topics of Seismology in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Assessment (Seminar)

 

A graduate seminar that discusses about the topics of seismology in seismic hazard analysis and assessment, especially focuses on the methodologies of strong-ground motion simulation.
