Course details

The Introduction to Engineering Seismology course provides a fundamental understanding of earthquakes and seismic wave propagation from an engineering perspective. It explains how earthquakes originate, how seismic waves travel through the Earth, and how ground motion characteristics influence the response of engineering structures. The course bridges basic seismology concepts with their applications in civil and structural engineering.

The course covers earthquake sources, fault mechanics, magnitude and intensity scales, seismic wave types, and earthquake recording systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding strong ground motion parameters, site effects, and basic seismic hazard concepts. By the end of the course, learners develop the ability to interpret seismological data and apply seismic principles to earthquake-resistant design and risk mitigation.
