FROM SEISMOLOGY TO EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
A new MOOC entitled “From seismology to earthquake engineering” will start soon at École Polytechnique of IP Paris.
The course ranges from the earth structure, the generation of earthquakes and seismic waves by faults to the seismic response of soils, foundations and structures as well as seismic risk.
The teaser of the course is available here.
Info and free enrollment at this web-site.
