Basel-Projekt: Erdbebenbeurteilung von Natursteinmauerwerksgebäuden
In parallel to the research project, we offer continuing education courses on the seismic assessment of stone masonry buildings. The courses are targeted at structural engineers who are familiar with force-based seismic design and assessment methods (announcement in the D-A-Ch-Part of the Bauingenieur, April 2016).
- Course language: German
- Course size: The course size is limited to 40 participants.
- Course location: Basel (for detailed information, see Flyers)
The course list below provides links to courses for which the registration is currently open.
