4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 115 Introduction to the field of fluid mechanics. Topics include the properties of fluids, buoyancy, basic fluid power, closed pipe flow, open channel flow, forces due to fluids in motion, flow measuring devices, and the energy balances of fluid systems. Lab experiments (requiring written reports) on non-compressible fluids illustrate the theoretical concepts. [Fall offering] 3 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT 115 Study of the characteristics and performance of soils: volumetry and gravimetry, moisture-density relations, consistency, identification and classification, ground water, capillary action, permeability, frost action, shear strength, stress distribution, earth pressure, and soil sampling and exploration. Individual and group reports are required for lab tests. 2 lecture/2 laboratory hours
-
3.00 Credits
Corequisite: CIV 229 Application of basic principles of material mechanics to the analysis and design of structural steel members that occur most commonly in bridge and building construction. Requires thorough knowledge of the American Institute of Steel Construction Code as well as orderly computational procedures. Lab work involves the design of a building. [Fall offering] 2 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV 227 Examines the design of basic reinforced concrete structural members including rectangular beams, slabs, columns, footings, and retaining walls. Requires thorough knowledge of the ACI Standard Code. Covers field inspection procedures. Lab projects involve designing, mixing, and evaluating concrete cylinders and beams, adhering to alternate design and strength design approaches. [Spring offering] 2 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV 106 with a minimum C grade With an introduction to engineering materials and their mechanical properties, examines strains that occur in elastic bodies subjected to direct and combined stresses, shear and bending moment diagrams, deflections of beams, and stresses due to torsion. Lab testing involves various materials such as cast iron, steel, brass, aluminum, and wood to determine their physical properties and to demonstrate various testing techniques. [Fall offering] 3 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CIV 103 and MAT 151 with a minimum C grade Calculus-based introduction to engineering materials and their mechanical properties, examining strains that occur in elastic bodies subjected to direct and combined stresses, shear and bending moment diagrams, deflections of beams, and stresses due to torsion. Lab testing involves various materials such as cast iron, steel, brass, aluminum, and wood to determine their physical properties and demonstrate various testing techniques. 3 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CIV 104 with a minimum C grade Study of the fundamental concepts of stress and strain of elastic bodies when subjected to axial or bending loads. Analyzes shear and bending moment diagrams, considers compression members, and introduces principles of torsion. The lab introduces various testing procedures to determine the physical properties of such materials as steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and wood. [Fall offering] 3 lecture/3 laboratory hours
-
