4.00 Credits
A study of the properties and behavior of soil, aggregates and Portland cement concrete as they relate to construction operations. Topics include soil index properties, classification, compaction and drainage; aggregate gradation, durability and applications; design of Portland cement concrete mixtures and testing of concrete in both plastic and cured states, use of concrete admixtures and field concreting practices. (Not for credit for CET students).
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of the highway design concepts introduced in Transportation Systems. The changing role of the highway designer and the impacts of GIS on the design process will be examined. Design projects will be used to reinforce material studied.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the unit operations for advanced water and waterwaste treatment. Standard laboratory tests with accompanying reports are included. Topics include membrane processes, carbon absorption, air stripping, nutrient removal and sludge treatment.
-
3.00 Credits
Design of conventional water and wastewater treatment processes, including reactor configurations to maintain specific flow patterns, and transition structures required to maintain desired treatment efficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a follow up steel design course with an emphasis on the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design method. Topics covered are beams (fully plastic, inelastic, elastic), concentric columns, leaner columns, standard connections (bolted and welded), eccentric connections, frame design (braced), modified effective lengths, base plates, and composite beam design (both ASD and LRFD).
-
3.00 Credits
Study of management and equipment alternatives in solid waste generation, collection, processing, transferring, transporting and disposal. Consideration of legislation, regulation and management of solid wastes. Activities include field trips and a municipal solid waste landfill design with both oral and written project reports.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of the concrete design procedures covered in CET 3381. Topics include pre-stress member design, post-tensioned member design, retaining wall design, biaxial bending in short and long concrete columns, and two-way slab design.
-
4.00 Credits
Review of matrix algebra, structural analysis by matrix methods (Flexibility and Displacement), Slope-Deflection theory, true stiffness determination of spans with varying moments of inertia, multi-story analysis, global stiffness matrix determination as applied to trusses, beams and frames (2D, 3D). Use of commercially available software for analysis and design such as PC-STRAN, GTSTRUDL or STAAD-III emphasized.
-
1.00 Credits
A review of the theoretical and practical aspects of ethical problems in engineering, along with their suggested solutions. Specific examples, situations and limitations of ethics and ethical relationships are discussed in detail.
-
3.00 Credits
Applications of mathematical modeling to Civil Engineering systems. Introduction to modeling with applications of conservation laws and other proper organizing principals in engineering. Students will be expected to use basic programming and advanced spreadsheet applications to solve mathematical modeling problems in fluid mechanics, environmental engineering, structural engineering, and basic chemical engineering. The class will focus on applications or appropriate algorithms for solutions.
