Course description and aims

This course focuses on soil dynamics and seismic design of building foundations.

This course aims to learn knowledge of geotechnical earthquake engineering, soil dynamic, seismic earth pressure, soil-structure interaction and soil liquefaction. Additionaly, seismic design of building foundations are lectured.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain dynamic properties of soill, seismic earth pressure and soil-structure interaction.
2) Have an understanding of site response and seismic design of building foundations

Keywords

Soil dynamic, Building foundations, Soil liquefaction

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
