The objective of this course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of engineering seismology and its application in earthquake engineering design. Discussions will focus on the analysis, processing, and characterization of strong ground motions, including the use of Ground Motion Models (GMMs) and the selection and scaling of strong motion records. The course will also introduce the concepts of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), covering the key steps from earthquake source characterization to the application of seismic design codes.
