Strengthening Seismic Disaster Risk Reduction Countermeasures for Critical Buildings Course

Earthquake disaster countermeasures include seismic strengthening, development of evacuation centers, designation and maintenance of emergency transportation roads, formulation of earthquake disaster plans, etc.
In particular, seismic strengthening is important to reduce damage from earthquakes, and governments must strengthen facilities such as government buildings, hospitals, fire departments, and police departments, and make efforts to ensure that emergency response and administrative services are not delayed in the event of a disaster. This course aims to learn
 (1)basic concepts necessary to ensure functional continuity of critical buildings, through understanding design methods and technologies, thereby contributing to strengthening earthquake risk countermeasures for critical buildings, (2) pre-disaster investment measures (seismic diagnosis methods and seismic retrofit for existing buildings), and (3) response measures after disasters (emergency risk level assessment, recovery technical guidelines, etc.).
