This course will focus on geotechnical site characterization for earthquake engineering problems. It will cover a wide range of "static" (e.g., SPT, CPT, VST, DMT, PMT) and "dynamic" (e.g., CHT, DHT, SW, GRP) in-situ tests used to obtain estimates of stratigraphy, density, strength, stress history, modulus, and permeability of geotechnical materials. We will also investigate direct geotechnical design methods for deep and shallow foundations based on results from in-situ tests.
Subject to approval of the Head of Department or the Programme Director.
