| Objectives of the Course |
This course provides students with information about geotechnical properties in tunnels.
|
| Contents of the Course |
Earthquakes, seismic hazard and risk, spectral acceleration. Tensile strain and strength characteristics of soils under earthquake excitations. Liquefaction and counter measures. Behavior of retaining walls and earth retaining structures during earthquakes. Foundation design in seismic areas. Networks are the lifeblood of the tunnel and behavior during earthquakes.
