ABOUT THE COURSE: The present course gives an overview followed by in-depth knowledge about various topics which are required particularly for seismic analysis whether related to determination of seismic loading, understanding dominating fault mechanism in the region, understanding slope stability problems, development of synthetic ground motions, seismic hazard analysis, source characterization, ground response analysis etc. It will help reader to gain deep understanding about above subjects and how these are applied to real life problems. Theoretical explanation followed by numerical problems on above mentioned topics will be covered. INTENDED AUDIENCE: Mtech and PhD students on Civil Engineering and Earth SciencesINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Mecaferri, Risk Management Solutions, Swiss Re etc.
