(1) Fully understand the damage caused by past historical earthquakes and disaster prevention measures. (Learning and education objective [H])
(2) Fully understand the basics of seismic engineering. (Learning and education objective [D]）
(2) Can give one's opinions and ideas through group learning on issues related to natural disasters. (Learning and education objectives [F and H])
Outline:
Japan is one of the countries where many natural disasters occur. This course will focus on safe and secure buildings and civil engineering structures, and will provide classes from the perspectives of seismic engineering and disaster prevention engineering.
It will teach the basics of seismic engineering and disaster prevention engineering in a lecture and exercise style by a teacher who was responsible for the structural design and vibration analysis of buildings at a company, using their experience.
Style:
The first nine weeks of classes will be mainly in a lecture style. In the next four weeks of classes, students will be working on exercises on disaster prevention measures for civil engineering and building structures using group work. In the final two weeks, students will introduce their research and discuss it freely.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Students must have fully learned the subjects involved in structural mechanics and structural design (RC and S constructions). They must also have carefully read the handouts distributed in advance and made every effort to understand the content. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
