Objectives of the Course Presenting the seismic problems and proper solutions for geotechnical engineering.

Understanding the dynamic characteristics of rock and soil under the circumstances of earthquake or vibration.

Gaining knowledge of basic geotechnical earthquake engineering principles

Examining the possibility of seismic hazards at the site and describe dynamic soil characteristics and soil improvement for remediation of seismic hazards.
Course Content The purpose of this course is to present the practical aspects of geotechnical earthquake engineering. This course covers; a discussion of basic earthquake principles, common earthquake effects, and typical structural damage caused by the seismic shaking. It deals with deals with earthquake computations for conditions commonly encountered by the design engineer, such as dynamic properties of soils, liquefaction, settlement, bearing capacity, and amplification, etc. The course aligns with doctorate level studies by providing advanced knowledge and analytical tools for addressing practical geotechnical challenges in earthquake engineering, including soil dynamics, liquefaction, and seismic design considerations, enabling students to contribute to resilient infrastructure development.
