Course Objectives		The objective of this course is to help the students to acquire the following skills: 1. To provide students with state of the art analytical methods to accurately take into account soil-structure interaction in earthquake engineering systems/problems. 2. To introduce and make use of common numerical methods in earthquake engineering to solve complex soil-structure interaction problems. 3. To make sure the students acquire knowledge with necessary foundation to solve various soil-structure interaction problems. 4. To evaluate the earthquake-induced instabilities in soil-structure systems.
Course Description		This course consists of mathematical modeling of soil-structure interaction in earthquake engineering. Main content of the course includes the seismic response of structures built inside or on the surface of soils taking into account the dynamic effects of soils. In this course the soil-structure system will be considered as a whole and the theoretical background will be complemented with related practical applications.
Course Outcomes		Grad. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1. Provide analytical solutions to basic soil-structure systems in earthquake engineering, 2. Accurately modeling the soil-structure interaction problems under seismic actions, 3. Solving case studies through modeling soil-structure interactions in earthquake engineering and being able to understand the failure mechanisms resulting from soils or structures, 4. Making use of computer applications in the solution of soil-structure interaction problems and also possibly in other problems as well.
