Fracture experimenti performed for participants

This course provides training to participants who mainly consist of young researchers, engineers and administrative persons from government agencies and universities in their respective countries. Their training is geared towards contributing to the reduction of structural damage caused by earthquakes that can result in human suffering in developing countries. The curriculum comprises basic earthquake engineering studies, covering topics such as structural analysis and structural dynamics; various earthquake resistant structures for reinforced concrete construction, and steel structures; the latest technology, such as seismic isolation and response control technique and seismic limit state design. All of these are systematically provided through lectures, practical training and study tours, enabling trainees to solve problems in their native countries.
