THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

This module provides the fundamental principles for the quantification of site-specific seismic hazard, whose effects are then incorporated into the safety verifications previously developed under static conditions. The analysis is subsequently extended to seismic risk assessment through the introduction and application of the concepts of vulnerability and exposure.
