GEOLOGIA APPLICATA ALLE AREE SISMICHE Single discipline educational activity
Course Sheet Academic Year of enrolment:
Professor and Collaborators:
Hours of classroom activity:
Prerequisites:
Competencies from the regular courses: Physics, Mathematics and Solid Earth Physics.
Objectives Contents This course provides the students operational methods and approaches to the surficial deposit characterization of their dynamic behaviors. They will enable the future geologists to measure and calculate the parameters needed to make quantitative estimations of co-seismic effects within the urban centers.
Extended Syllabus Seismo-tectonics and seismology elements. Introduction to Strong Motion parameters and methods to calculate them. Seismic hazard analyses by deterministic and probabilistic methods. Experimental evidences and theoretical constitutive law that describe the seismic soil and rock behavior. In field and laboratory devices to perform seismic characterization of superficial deposits. Introduction to the Italian Technical building code (NTC08). Procedures for quantitative seismic microzoning in urban areas (with respect to local amplifications, slope instability and liquefaction phenomena).
