DEFINITION AND FUNDAMENTAL GOALS OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING:

The Earthquake Engineering program is intended for Civil Engineers who wish to specialize in earthquake ground motion, earthquake hazard assessment, analysis of earthquake response and earthquake-resistant design of structures and systems.

The graduate courses offered by the department encompass earthquake strong motion, simulation of strong ground motion; earthquake hazard assessment; site response analysis; structural monitoring and data analysis; system identification, earthquake response analysis; aneartquake resistant design of structures and system such as reinforced concrete and masonry buildings, tall buildings, historical heritage structures, bridges, tunnels, offshore buildings, earth and concrete dams, tanks, retaining walls and lifelines; earthquake risk and loss assessment.
