3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed as Environmental Studies 112.) An introduction to the science of hydrology and to the design of water resource systems. Basic hydrologic processes such as precipitation, infiltration, groundwater flow, evaporation, and streamflow are discussed. Applications of hydrology to water supply, flood control and watershed modeling are emphasized. Students develop their own hydrologic models using computer software. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 12 or permission. This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed as Geology 131and Environmental Studies 113). The geology and hydrology of groundwater. Topics include: hydraulic properties of soils, sediments, and rocks; physics of groundwater flow; flow nets, modeling groundwater systems; geology of regional flow; aquifer exploration and water well construction methods; well hydraulics and aquifer testing; applications in the geosciences and in civil /geotechnical/environmental engineering. Prerequisites Senior standing or permission of instructor. This course meets the following distribution requirements: Please note: If more than one distribution area is listed, the course can be used to satisfy ONE area only. Natural Sciences This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
Late 19th and early 20th century problems in creating a built environment consistent with modern life. Work of key designers and writers. Connections between structural form and architectural theory form the basis for critiques of modern structure and architecture. Prerequisites Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed as Mechanical Engineering 122). Strain tensor, stress tensor, elastic stress analysis, isotropic and anisotropic materials, torsion problem, inelastic behavior of materials, elements of plasticity and creep. Prerequisites ES 9 Strength of Materials or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
The application of mechanics to the analysis of indeterminate structural forms important to civil and aeronautical engineering, with emphasis on modern structural types. The analysis of fundamental structural forms, including curved beams, arches, rings, thin-walled cell-type structures, and members with variable inertia, for stress and deflection by the classical methods. Influence lines for indeterminate structures. Introduction to matrix analysis and vibration of structures. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 22. This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced course in steel design using the Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). Component design, connections, composite and built-up sections are covered. Design problems involve braced and rigid structures subjected to gravity, wind, and seismic loads. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 24. This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
-
3.00 Credits
Further study of concrete design with emphasis on columns with biaxial bending, flat slab theory and design, torsion, and the analysis and design of prestressed concrete structural members. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 25
-
3.00 Credits
Elastic buckling of columns, including the effects of initial crookedness and eccentricity. Large deflections of the Euler column. Tangent modulus and double modulus theory. Beam columns and the stability of frameworks and trusses. Torsional buckling of columns and lateral buckling of beams. Plate buckling with applications to flange buckling and web crippling of plate girders. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 22
-
3.00 Credits
(Cross-listed as Mechanical Engineering 128.) An introduction to the theory of structural mechanics emphasizing the application of energy methods. Applications to equilibrium and stability of beams, struts, frameworks, rings and plates, and the dynamics of rigid and deformable bodies. Prerequisites Engineering Science 9. This course is offered during the following semesters: Spring Semester
-
3.00 Credits
A practical introduction to bridge engineering, exploring the design, behavior, maintenance and rehabilitation of bridges. Bridge systems, loadings, superstructures, substructures, details, and inspections will be discussed. The theory behind development of certain provisions in AASHTO code will be reviewed, with the purpose of developing an understanding of the code and its related commentary, and the objective of preparing students to use the criteria not as a "black box." Approximate analysis methods will be discussed. Design of elements including steel and pre-stressed concrete beams, abutments, piers, joints, and bearings using AASHTO code (LRFD) will be covered. Prerequisites Civil and Environmental Engineering 24 and 25, or permission of instructor.
