Addresses the importance and pervasiveness of globalization in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Companies (AEC Firms). Covers strategies for a presence in the global market and the importance of the global financial market in project financing, with a primary focus on infrastructure. Includes discussion of innovative approaches to marketing, partnering, risk management, finance, specialized delivery systems, and privatization.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Develops a strong strategic understanding of how best to deliver various types of projects in the built environment. Examines the compatibility of various project delivery methods, consisting of organizations, contracts, and award methods, with certain types of projects and owners. Six methods examined: traditional general contracting; construction management; multiple primes; design-build; turnkey; and build-operate-transfer. Includes lectures, case studies, guest speakers, and a team project to analyze a case example.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
0.00 - 6.00 Credits
Individual study of an advanced topic in construction engineering and management, selected with approval of faculty supervisor.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Studies strength and deformation of concrete under various states of stress; failure criteria; concrete plasticity; and fracture mechanics concepts. Topics include fundamental behavior of reinforced concrete structural systems and their members; basis for design and code constraints; high-performance concrete materials and their use in innovative design solutions; and yield line theory for slabs. Uses behavior models and nonlinear analysis. Covers complex systems, including bridge structures, concrete shells, and containments. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.051
-
3.00 Credits
Covers multiscale atomistic modeling and simulation methods, with focus on mechanical properties (elasticity, plasticity, creep, fracture, fatigue) of a range of materials (metals, ceramics, proteins, biological materials, biomaterials). Topics include mechanics of materials (energy principles, nano-/micromechanics, deformation mechanisms, size effects, hierarchical biological structures) and atomistic modeling (chemistry, interatomic potentials, visualization, data analysis, numerical methods, supercomputing, algorithms). Includes an interactive computational project.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Presents a rational basis for the preliminary design of motion-sensitive structures. Topics include: analytical and numerical techniques for establishing the optimal stiffness distribution, the role of damping in controlling motion, tuned mass dampers, base isolation systems, and an introduction to active structural control. Examples illustrating the application of the motion-based design paradigm to building structures subjected to wind and seismic excitation are discussed.
