Learning Objectives
Seismic microzonation has the main objectives of providing useful information for land planning and governance, design, emergency planning and post-earthquake reconstruction. The course addresses the main issues relating to the assessment of seismic hazard and local seismic effects for better land management and correct reduction of seismic risk.
In detail, the teaching aims to acquire basic knowledge for the study of earthquakes and the propagation of seismic waves in order to understand the methodologies suitable for the evaluation of seismic hazard and the definition of local effects (e.g. seismic amplification, earthquake-induced landslides, liquefaction, active and capable faults) as part of Seismic Microzonation studies
The course is designed to provide the basic principles of seismology aimed at a correct and complete assessment of seismic risk. The first lessons will introduce the basic principles of seismic risk, of the seismic investigations used for MZS studies, of site effects, of the reference legislation and of the national standards used; subsequently the objectives, applications and critical issues relating to the 3 levels of analysis of seismic microzonation will be explained.
Subsequently the following will be covered:
- Level 1 - 2 Studies with the relevant application cases and explanation of the use of the schedules to obtain the amplification factors.
- level 3 studies: characterization with quantitative determination of the instabilities and estimation via local seismic response (1D or 2D) of the amplification factors
The last part of the course will focus on concrete exercises on level 1, 2 and 3 seismic microzonation using the national reference standards, the gis and Soft MS software for the creation of the evidence archiving database with the aim of making students capable of carry out a complete seismic microzonation study.
