-
4.00 Credits
Continues CIV U320. Covers analysis of indeterminate structural systems using matrix methods. Studies how to implement matrix analysis of indeterminate structures using both flexibility and stiffness approaches. Serves as an introduction to the finite element method.
-
0.00 Credits
Accompanies CIV U522. Includes demonstrations of classroom principles, computational exercises to familiarize students with structural engineering software, and experiments with which to compare theoretical predictions with observed structural behavior.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces various aspects of integrated solid waste management systems and hazardous waste management practices. Includes both engineering principles as well as socioeconomic and regulatory issues surrounding solid and hazardous waste management. Provides sufficient background to enable the student to understand, evaluate, and critique the design of and the decisions in various waste management alternatives.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines public and private environmental quality management and resource protection systems including consideration of regulatory issues, risk management approaches, local vs. regional impacts, long-term sustainability, and economic/financial issues. Covers selected current topics and a broad range of specific environmental issues.
-
3.00 Credits
Continues CIV U334. Concentrates on unit operations, unit processes, and related fundamental design of physical, chemical, and biological water and wastewater treatment systems, using both lectures and laboratory instruction. Topics include aeration systems, activated sludge, fixed-film biological treatment, gas transfer, reaction kinetics, reactor modeling, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and subsurface disposal system design.
-
1.00 Credits
Accompanies CIV U534. Covers topics from the course through various experiments.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces principles of engineering hydrology. Covers the hydrologic cycle; rainfall-runoff relationships; hydrologic flood routing; and ground water hydraulics. Applies these concepts to issues such as water supply and storm water management. Includes project component.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the historical evolution of the complex and dynamic relationship between urban waters and humans, with emphasis on water quality and public health. Topics include principles of water quality, field sampling and laboratory analysis, criteria and standards, and mitigation and control. Specific pollution issues covered include conventional problems (pathogens, low dissolved oxygen), toxic chemicals (e.g., PCBs, mercury), and emerging contaminants (endocrine disruptors, antibiotic resistance). Discusses the roles of government regulation, citizen advocacy, and public perception. Focuses on Boston's Charles River and its comparison to several European rivers with comparable history. Taught in study-abroad format with site visits, field and laboratory components, and scientific conference attendance.
-
4.00 Credits
Explores soil-bearing capacity determination, design of shallow foundations and pile foundations, and design of retaining walls and excavation support systems.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the student to various design problems and options for waste containment (including landfill liners, barriers, and cutoff walls); site remediation; and the fundamental considerations behind those designs. Examines definitions and regulations; soil composition, mineralogy, geohydrologic conditions, and contaminant interactions that need to be considered in the design; reactive transport in soils; and hydraulic conductivity measurements in the lab and field.
