Elementary
priciples of seismology. Generation of seismics.
Faults. Focal mecanism. Seismic zoning and
microzoning. Seismic intensity on the sesimic
engineering point of view. Intensity vs. magnitude
vs. acceleration vs. velocity vs.
displacement. Sesimic periods of return and
moments. Attenuation of seismic intensity with the
epicentral distance. Near and distante seismics.
Attenuation curves. Synthetic seismograms.
Dimensioning seismics. Deterministic and
probabalistic criteria. The situation in
