Overview
Key facts
Fragility functions are essential components of earthquake risk models.
You'll learn state-of-the-art techniques and tools for developing fragility functions, taking a consistent approach to the inclusion of uncertainty.University College London (UCL)'s Simplified Structural Assessment for Seismic Fragility Analysis course is aimed at Master's level students with an engineering background. It's also accessible to others professionals (e.g. in insurance) who know something about earthquake fragility assessment and want to learn more.Programme Structure
Courses include:
- non-linear static analysis procedures for structural assessment under seismic loading
- the capacity spectrum method of seismic assessment of structures
- fragility analysis using the FRACAS (fragility through capacity spectrum assessment) approach for assessing structures under earthquake time histories
- case-study applications for capacity assessment and fragility analysis of reinforced concrete buildings using FRACAS
