地震工程学硕士

地震工程包括各种活动，旨在最大程度地减少地震造成的破坏和破坏。该主题包括评估产生地震的构造和断层机制，以估计地震的发生时间和规模。了解地震能量如何通过地面传播。在结构的整个生命周期中，量化特定位置可能的地面响应。评估特定地点土壤的液化潜力。设计结构和生命线服务（电力，天然气，运输，水和废水），以最大程度地减少地震中和地震后的破坏和破坏。规划应急响应和地震后恢复。为地震做好准备
Earthquake Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities that seek to minimise the damage and disruption communities suffer when hit by an earthquake. The subject includes:<br>assessing the tectonic and fault mechanisms that generate earthquakes to estimate when they will occur and how large they will be<br>understanding how the earthquake energy transmits through the ground<br>quantifying the likely ground surface responses at a specific site throughout the life of a structure<br>assessing the liquefaction potential of soils at specific sites<br>designing structures and lifeline services (electricity, gas, transport, water, and wastewater) to minimise the damage and disruption during and after an earthquake, planning for emergency response and post-earthquake recovery, preparing communities for earthquakes.<br>Engineers specialising in earthquake assessment, strengthening, and repairs are in high demand throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, and overseas regions that are often prone to earthquake disasters
