CE A610 — Engineering Seismology 3 Credits
Covers the internal structure of the earth, the causes, and the occurrence of earthquakes including seismic waves and their propagation, seismograms with special emphasis to strong ground motion measurements, accelerometers, and seismic networks. Introduces seismic data processing and interpretation of strong motion records, estimation of ground motion parameters, and their spatial variabilities. Discusses the concepts of probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment with special reference to Alaska. Registration Restrictions: Graduate standing or instructor approval
