-
3.00 Credits
Case studies presenting significant accomplishments in infrastructure engineering presented by distinguished practicing engineers. Case studies will examine the historical development of our infrastructure, assessing cultural value of our built environment, alternate infrastructure models, public empowerment, sustainability, stewardship, financing, legal issues, and concepts for future development of infrastructure systems. Students will write environmental and cultural assessments of specific infrastructure projects.
-
4.00 Credits
Mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical processes that cause degradation of our built infrastructure. Reinforced concrete carbonation and freezing and thawing; fatigue, brittle fracture, and corrosion of steel; weathering of masonry; degradation of asphalt pavements; deterioration of underground systems; aging of polymer-based construction products such as sealants and coatings. Assessment technologies, including non-destructive testing and mathematical modeling. Laboratory and field experiences.
-
4.00 Credits
Rehabilitation materials and systems; mechanical, electrochemical, thermal, environmental, and aesthetic criteria for decision-making; design principles; specifications and control of construction processes; rehabilitation case studies. Application to structures, pipelines, pavements, and drainage systems.
-
4.00 Credits
Examination of the properties that distinguish infrastructure performance models from more traditional engineering analysis models. Infrastructure software implementation strategies. Application of existing models to problems such as water distribution systems, mass transport, pavement management, and brownfield redevelopment. Development of new models to address infrastructure performance and sustainability.
-
3.00 Credits
Aspects of decision theory applied to infrastructure systems. Review of probability and statistics, engineering economics, cost-benefit analysis, impact of social, historical, environmental and government policies on decisions. Emergency management and security considerations. Methods of project financing; asset management and asset optimization.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics on smart infrastructure systems; smart materials fabrication, embedded sensing technology for infrastructure condition monitoring, the system models for infrastructural condition diagnosing and adaptive controlling, and spatial-temporal integrated infrastructure management system.
-
3.00 Credits
Evolution of proactive environmental engineering to recover contaminated air, water, and soil environments. Lake and river remediation, contaminated sediments, indoor air quality, chemical spills, underground storage tanks, contaminated soils, solid and hazardous waste sites, superfund remediation. Recommended preparation: ECIV 368 or consent of instructor.
-
0.00 Credits
This series of three courses will provide Ph.D. students with practical experience in teaching at the University level and will expose them to effective teaching methods. Each course assignment will be organized in coordination with the student's dissertation advisor and the department chairperson. Assignments will successively require more contact with students, with duties approaching the teaching requirements of a faculty member in the Ph.D. student's area of study. Prereq: Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering.
-
3.00 Credits
Translation of the biology, chemistry and physics of environmental problems into mathematical models. Equilibrium and kinetic reaction systems, domain analysis. Lake, river and treatment process models. Convective, dispersive, reactive, sorptive, diffusive mass transport. Transport model calibration. Applications to bio-films, air pollution, spills, groundwater contamination.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of mass transport through porous media, formulation of saturated and unsaturated flow equations in alternative coordinate systems, analytical and numerical solutions of flow equations, application of existing groundwater software, analysis of solute transport problems.
