Course Title: Seismic Risk Reduction Type: Theory Credit Hours: 04 Dr. Naveed Ahmad, Contact: drnaveedahmad.eec@gmail.com Assistant Professor, Earthquake Engineering Center, UET Peshawar Office First Floor, Civil Engineering Department, UET Peshawar Course Goal and Objectives Pakistan is one of the regions with the highest seismic risk due to its active tectonic features resulting in high hazard, vulnerability of regional structures and infrastructures to strong ground shaking and social vulnerability of communities. Being sixth amongst the highly populated countries of the world, where urbanization is on rise as are future earthquake disasters, which may possibly lead to the loss of precious lives and economy of the country, which need to be avoided. The aim of this course is to help guide the students (MSc/PhD Level) understand the earthquakes risk assessment process and equip the students with state-of-the art methods and tools for

• Earthquake hazard characterization and • Vulnerability assessment of constructions, • Quantify the earthquake risk of communities, • Perform feasibility and cost-benefit analysis of mitigation strategies

aiming towards risk mitigation of communities. Target Students The pre-requisite qualification for this course is BSc/BS/BE in Civil Engineering, BSc/BS/BE in Architectural Engineering (with knowledge on structural analysis and design). The course is designed for students seeking MSc and/or PhD degree in Structural Engineering and Earthquake Engineering Topics of The Course Following are the major topics covered this course:

1. Introduction 2. Seismic Hazard Analysis 3. Seismic vulnerability assessment of structures 4. Earthquake Risk Assessment of Communities (At Urban/Regional/National Scales) 5. Earthquake Risk Mitigation

Detailed on each of the topics are provided on the next page, which will be taught in the specified time for course material lecturing.
