The Sapienza University of Rome MECRES Masters
programme has the objective to provide advanced training on concepts
and methodologies for seismic classification, hazard evaluation,
microzonation, anti-seismic design of new structures, retrofit of
existing structures, advanced performance-based analysis and risk
analysis.
The program relies on an international Teaching Body from international schools of earthquake engineering and seismology.
Training objectives are divided into two areas:
Definition of seismic input :
- seismic sources,
- seismic wave analysis,
- management of macroseismic and instrumental ground motions databases,
- seismic monitoring,
- definition of design earthquakes,
- deterministic and probabilistic methods for seismic hazard and risk evaluation,
- evaluation of seismic response through geological surveys,
- dynamic soil behavior,
- laboratory testing,
- on-site campaigns and measurements.
Evaluation of the response:
- fundamentals of earthquake engineering,
- static and dynamic modeling of earthquake input,
- modal analysis,
- earthquake protection devices,
- design of retrofit strategies,
- design and verification of structural components and members,
- evaluation and analysis of damage on structures and buildings,
- advanced analysis and risk analysis
For both areas subjects teaching is in the form of theoretical lectures and practical case study applications.
All
aspects are taught also under the simulation and modelling
perspective to introduce computer simulation tools used in current
practice.
The MECRES masters is open to Italian and International participants holding a University degree in the following fields:
- Civil Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Geological sciences
- Chemical Engineering
- Environmental and Landscape Engineering
- Urban, Spatial and Environmental Planning
- Architectural Engineering
