-
3.00 Credits
Methods of subsurface exploration and sampling of soils, lateral support in open cuts, control of groundwater, analysis and design of shallow foundations, analysis and design of deep foundations, bridge abutments and cofferdams, underpinning, and application of modern computational techniques to analysis and design of foundations. Prereq: CVEN 5708, CVEN 5718, and graduate standing or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory, design, and construction of earth embankments. Use of published data, field exploration, laboratory tests on soils and rock in investigating foundations, and construction materials. Principles of compaction and settlement. Slope stability analysis, landslide, recognition and control, use of benches and beams. Prereq: CVEN 3708, CVEN 4718, and graduate standing or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Expansive soils swell upon wetting because of the swelling nature of constituent clay minerals, particularly montmorillonite. This course studies swelling nature of different clay minerals, effects of wetting, swelling potential, swelling pressures, and design of different foundation systems. Prereq: CVEN 4738, B.S.C.E. or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Nature of rock masses, geological exploration, deformability and strength, in-situ stresses and deformation, rock hydraulics. Prereq: CVEN 3708, CVEN 4718 and graduate standing or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Surface exploration and characterization of rock masses, slope stability, analysis of rock masses; rock mass reinforcement; tunnel and shaft designs, design of underground rock chambers; foundations on rocks; and dam design. Prereq: CVEN 5768 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies geology as utilized in engineering and environmental practice. Emphasizes a conceptual integration of geologic materials, processes, and rates of change as a basis for successful application of geologic knowledge to environmental planning and engineering design projects. Prereq: MATH 2411 and CVEN 2121. Cross-listed with CVEN 4780 and GEOL 4780/5780.
-
3.00 Credits
NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) and environmental regulations demand that all landfills receive proper engineering design. This course covers regulations, management (reduction, collection, transportation, transformation, recycling, incineration, disposal), and disposal facility design. Prereq: Senior in CVEN, B.S.C.E. or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of vibrations of, and wave propagation in, elastic, homogeneous, isotropic media; laboratory and in-situ measurements of soil properties; applications of these principles and properties to the design of foundations subject to dynamic loading generated by machinery, earthquakes, or blasts. Prereq: CVEN 5708, 5718, and graduate standing or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
