Come join the the Francken Friday Lecture from professor Ihsan Bal from ENTEG. He will go into earthquakes and how powerful natural events could pose significant risks to structures, oftenresulting in catastrophic consequences. This lecture will explores the interaction between
seismic forces and structural behavior from an applied physics perspective. Key
principles such as seismic waves, dynamic structural response, and energy dissipation
are examined to understand how structures respond to strong ground motions.
