Department: Civil Engineering
The workshop in brief: Seismic risk is the probability that a subject site will be adversely affected by any seismic hazard, such as an earthquake. Seismic risk tends to increase in areas that are more earthquake-prone and vulnerable to damage. Vulnerability refers to the potential impact on people, as well as properties. To enlighten faculty staff and students more about the topic, the Civil Engineering Department conducted a workshop entitled SEISMIC VULNERABILITY AND RISK ASSESSMENT: CASE STUDY OF IRAQ. Also, the students were taught about the procedure for the survey of the project.
Participants:
Place: TIU, Main Building-302
First session: introduction to seismic vulnerability and assessment.
Second session: briefing about qualitative and quantitative alaysis of seismic risks and the method of surveying for the project.
Dr. Lars Abrahamczyk, Professor at Bauhaus University, joined via zoom.
Mr. Peshawa Luqman, a PhD student at the Chair of Advanced Structures at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in Germany.
The students were taught about surveying of the projects since this project is a part of the joint project between the two universities under the title ”Multiscale consequences studies for hazard impact on structures in Iraq” funded by DAAD.
