OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE:
1. Consolidation of knowledge and experience about the impacts and consequences of dynamic forces on engineering structures and the environment.
2. Analyzing the specific conditions of the microlocation and defining the interaction between the foundation soil and the structure.
3. Introduction of a seismic isolation system in order to improve the dynamic response of the structure and reduce the seismic hazard.
4. Acquisition of knowledge and skills for successful application in future professional and/or scientific work.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
After passing the course, the student will be able to:
1. synthesize knowledge from the natural sciences and basic engineering disciplines when creating papers, studies and projects in earthquake engineering
2. recognize the basic features of seismic action and establish the parameters of vibration description
3. establish dynamic problems of structures
4. apply basic parameters for designing aseismic structures
5. apply concepts and standards that contribute to the resistance of buildings to vibrations and earthquakes
