Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
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 earthquake response analysis of buildings at a company, using their experience.
Style:
The classes are on the lecture-style lecture, exercises and assignment will be executed as appropriate.
Notice:
This course requires 90 hours of self-study time to do preliminary reviews, reviews, and assignments. Students attendance is required, and only a maximum of 5 absences is excused. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
