Programme

Das CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting (CAS ETH SER) provides the fundamental knowledge und strategical thinking in:

  • Seismic Evaluation and Seismic Retrofitting of Existing Structures located in Switzerland
  • Finite Element Modelling of Structures
  • Seismic Design of New Structures located in Switzerland                            

The programme is offered by the Chair of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering at ETH Zurich.

The presentation of the optimal modelling strategies, analysis methods and practical engineering solutions for the seismic evaluation of existing structures and the seismic design of new structures lies at the core of the programme. The teaching material of the programme comprises case study examples of existing structures in Switzerland presented by experienced civil engineers, group projects, material and exercises for individual study and construction site visits.
