    This document provides a proposed course outline for a course titled "Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering". The course aims to provide undergraduate students with an understanding of earthquake engineering concepts, including earthquake characteristics, the response of structures to earthquakes, earthquake input motion, and evaluating structural response. Over the course, students will learn about earthquake source parameters, path and site effects, ground motion characteristics, and earthquake-resistant design codes. The course contents will cover topics such as the causes of earthquakes, measuring earthquakes, source-to-site effects, and the effects of earthquakes on buildings, infrastructure, and human/financial losses.

    FUNDAMENTALS OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING

    PROPOSED COURSE OUTLINE

    Muhammad Murtaza, (Lecturer)

    CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


    SIR SYED UNIVERSIRTY OF ENGINEERING &
    TECHNOLOGY

    COURSE TITLE
    FUNDAMENTALS OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING

    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    This course is designed to serve as a first course in earthquake engineering
    at university level. Over the past few decades, earthquake engineering has
    evolved as a branch of engineering dealing with the evaluation of earthquake
    consequences and the mitigation of these consequences. It has become an
    interdisciplinary subject connecting seismologist, structural and geotechnical
    engineers, architects, urban planners, information technologist and social
    scientists. This characteristic makes the subject both exciting and complex,
    challenging its practitioners to keep alongside of wide range of rapidly
    evolving disciplines.
    The course is designed to undergraduate students, the concepts and
    application of principles of geology, engineering seismology and geotechnical engineering that are necessary for earthquake structural
    engineering graduates and researchers. It will provide students with an
    understanding of latest applied structural earthquake engineering.

    COURSE PREREQUISITES
    Students pursuing this course are appreciated to first complete a course in
    1. Engineering Geology
    2. Structural analysis
    Apart from these prerequisites, the course is designed in a manner that it
    can still be taken independently of any prerequisite(s).

    COURSE AIM & LEARNING OUTCOMES


    As shown in the flow chart, the course is intended to understand the
    mechanism of earthquake and its impact on societal systems .i.e. evaluation
    of actions and deformations imposed by earthquake on structural systems.
    The students will learn in detail about
    1) Earthquake source parameters
    2) Path and site characteristics

    3)
