Online School of Earthquake Resilient Design
The Online School of Earthquake Resilient Design was founded by Marios Panagiotou (PhD, PE), in July 2018, to transfer high-end knowledge on earthquake structural engineering and design of cost-efficient earthquake resilient structures. The term earthquake resilient describes the design characteristic of structures after experiencing a major earthquake, to become functional in reasonable time eliminating the need of cost-prohibitive repairs or demolition. The target audience includes engineers, researchers, students as well as stakeholders working on the development, analysis, design, and construction of structures in areas of high seismic hazard. The school offers, online+live+interactive, courses on conceptual development, analysis, and design of earthquake resilient structures. The teaching activities initiate with a 24-hour online, live, and interactive course on Earthquake Resilient Buildings planned to be taught by Dr. Panagiotou in January-February 2019. The school is in the process of developing various online courses and webinars of different lengths.
