This document outlines the topics covered in a semester 6 elective course on seismic planning and disaster management. Part A contains 8 short answer questions about topics such as the differences between accelerograms and seismograms, definitions of earthquake terminology, recommended wall thicknesses, drawing earthquake motion charts, principles of earthquake resistant design, importance factors, effects of dynamic forces on soil, and why soil is complex in earthquake construction. Part B contains 7 short answer questions about plate tectonic theory, seismic wave types, scales for measuring earthquake magnitude and intensity, liquefaction and factors affecting it, failures in masonry construction, reinforcement bands in masonry, and failures of non-structural components.
