This course has been designed to :
Understand geotechnical earthquake hazard and mitigation, damage to structures, seismicity, and wave propagation.
Develop an appropriate ground motion for use in design, including local site effects.
Use sound concepts to determine the response of a soil deposit during/after earthquakes.
Develop the skills required to provide engineering solutions to geotechnical earthquake problems.
Become familiar with research topics in geotechnical earthquake engineering.

Basic understanding of:
Seismic motion sources
Ground motion time histories
Response spectra
Wave propagation through soil and rock
Dynamic properties of soils & rocks
Ground response to strong shaking
Analysis of soil liquefaction
Seismic slope stability
Soil improvement to mitigate eartquakes
