Laboratory of Transport Infrastructure and Severe Hazards is a course of the Master Degree in Road Infrastructures and Transport. This degree aims at training a highly professional figure in civil engineering with specific knowledge and skills in road infrastructures design and management and transportation issues.
Within this degree, Laboratory of Transport Infrastructure and Severe Hazards is aimed at providing students with high professional knowledge and understanding of the interferences between transport infrastructure and hazards, determined both by anthropic causes, such as pollution due to accidents, fire hazards,..) or natural events (earthquakes, floods,…).
At the end of the course the students will be able to: 1) define the most effective procedure for identifying the priority of interventions to protect transport infrastructures by anthropic and natural hazards; 2) develop risk analysis for transport infrastructures; 3) develop in depth analysis and write technical report; 4) define the most effective countermeasures for reducing or eliminating the effects of hazards on transport infrastructures operation and safety.
