Earthquake Risk Reduction Bogazici University

Overview

Earthquake Risk Reduction from Bogazici University  introduces you to a multi-phased process that ranges from earthquake source studies to seismic risk mitigation procedures. Earthquake response analysis of sites, structures and systems; and assessment of strong ground motion that emanates from an earthquake constitute the two main ingredients of the discipline. The emphasis of our academic activities are placed on various complementary fields:
