University of Canterbury, Masters of Civil Engineering, 1 Year(s)

Civil infrastructure has the ability to change the landscape of our planet, from tunnels to skyscrapers. The Master of Civil Engineering (MCivilEng) offers professional practice and knowledge in infrastructure design and analysis, and advanced skills in project and stakeholder management. The flexible programme gives you the opportunity to specialise in a specific area, or develop a broad background in civil engineering. Earthquake Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities that seek to minimise the damage and disruption communities suffer when hit by an earthquake. The subject includes Assessing the tectonic and fault mechanisms that generate earthquakes to estimate when they will occur and how large they will be. Understanding how the earthquake energy transmits through the ground. Quantifying the likely ground surface responses at a specific site throughout the life of a structure. Assessing the liquefaction potential of soils at specific sites. Designing structures and lifeline services (electricity, gas, transport, water and wastewater) to minimise the damage and disruption during and after an earthquake. Planning for emergency response and post-earthquake recovery. Preparing communities for earthquakes
