Course Objective

Institute of Marine Science and Technology Coastal Engineering in the Department of Marine Sciences, Marine Technology program is taught in this course, which will be held in the coastal areas damaged by earthquakes, often the biggest coastal planning and construction of the ground during an earthquake to show behaviors necessary bearing capacity and ground improvement are discussed.
Earthquakes are moving as a whole during the planning and construction of ground and surface structures of different disciplines emphasize the importance of co-operation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To improve and build the coastal areas, coastal planning.
2   Soil and land planning and construction of structures of different disciplines to work in partnership.
3   The importance of coastal oceanography research.
4   Relations with the seas and coastal geological geophysical geotechnical studies.
