Overview
Japan has developed the world most sophisticated anti-seismic engineering standards, from the Lead Rubber Bearing base isolation system to the Tuned Mass Dampers in Tokyo Skytree. This programme combines classroom instruction in structural dynamics with visits to test laboratories, base-isolated buildings, and construction sites where engineers explain real-time seismic monitoring systems.
Program Objectives
- Understand the principles of seismic-resistant structural design.
- Evaluate base isolation and damper technologies for different building types.
- Apply Japanese seismic standards to infrastructure planning.
