This course offered by the Department of Earthquake Engineering delves into advanced concepts in soil dynamics, a crucial aspect of earthquake engineering. Students explore the intricate behaviour of soils under seismic loading, understanding the fundamental principles governing soil dynamics and their implications in structural response. Topics covered include soil-structure interaction, site response analysis, liquefaction potential assessment, ground motion amplification, and soil-damping effects. Students gain insights into designing resilient structures in earthquake-prone regions through theoretical lectures, practical simulations, and case studies of real-world seismic events. The course equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyse and mitigate seismic risks effectively, contributing to developing safer and more resilient infrastructure systems.
