Training Rapid Earthquake Hazard Evaluation of Buildings
INTRODUCTION
The rapid earthquake hazard evaluation of existing buildings course will help participants to develop their skills to be able to properly assess earthquake damages for buildings after a major earthquake. In this course, participants will also learn about the most current methods for performing post-earthquake safety evaluations of buildings.
