OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	It is aimed to give basic information about the behavior of the soil during an earthquake, liquefaction, settlement, slope and retaining movements under dynamic loads, eccentricity, soil improvement against soil and earthquake risk, geotechnical report preparation, behavior of structures under earthquake loading and to give basic information about earthquake-resistant building design principles.
Contents of the Course Unit:	It includes the following topics; the structure of the earth, earthquake parameters, large and small plates on the earth, shallow and deep earthquakes, the formation and types of faults, the instrumental magnitude of the earthquake and severity, the behavior of soil during an earthquake, liquefaction, settlement, safety factor, critical structures, slope and retaining movements under dynamic loads, eccentricity, soil improvement methods against soil and earthquake risk, geotechnical report preparation, behavior of structures under earthquake loading and earthquake resistant structure.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
