Safety and Civil Protection Engineering

Seismic Risk of Structures: the course aims to provide students with the tools to evaluate the seismic risk of structures and lifelines, starting from the three elements involved in risk characterization: the seismic hazard of the site, the vulnerability of the constructed facilities, the assessment of the consequences of direct and indirect damages. In particular, it aims to provide the knowledge necessary to address and solve problems related to seismic protection of buildings and lifeline networks, both existing or under design, and to deal with the emergency caused by the occurrence of an earthquake.
