The aim of the course:
It is aimed to teach the methods used in seismic hazard studies, to identify the hazards that will create faults and to provide the most reduction of the effects on settlement areas, to teach the methods of analytical and analytical solutions.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : Concept of Seismic hazard problem1,31,3
PO - 2 : Modeling of the danger that the faults will form1,33,6
PO - 3 : To learn experimental and analytical solution methods1,33,5,6
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
