This website is for the 2022-23 academic year and is no longer maintained. Current HOS students should visit Brightspace or contact Robert Lanzafame directly.
This page gives an overview of the in-class sessions, homework assignments and reading material. Unless otherwise noted, our “typical” in-class sessions will always be on Friday at Bouwcampus Hall 1 (26.B0.030). The sessions are scheduled from 9:45-12:30, but we will try to wrap up by 12:00 most days.
See the About page for more information about the unit. Required reading is noted in the third column below, where “HOS” and “ADK” refer to the online HOS textbook and textbook by Armen der Kiureghian, respectively. For the HOS book, “HOS-PD” and “HOS-EVA” refer to the parts with chapters on Probabilistic Design and Extreme Value Analysis topics.
