3.00 Credits
Provides a theoretical framework for understanding fluid flow and contaminant transport in porous media. Topics include the properties of a porous medium, including types of phases, soil and clay mineralogy, surface tension and capillarity, soil surface area, and soil organic-matter composition; the derivation of the general equations for multi-phase fluid flow and multi-species solute transport; and the fundamentals of the fate and transport processes of organic pollutants in ground-water systems, including advection, dispersion, diffusion, sorption, hydrolysis, and volatilization.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the basic concepts, numerical methods, and applications of optimum design to civil engineering structures; formulation of the optimum design problems; development of analysis techniques including linear and nonlinear programming and optimality criteria; examples illustrating application to steel and concrete structures.
-
3.00 Credits
Discussion of deflection theory. Analysis of arches, suspension bridges, cable supported roof systems, guyed towers, lattice domes and space trusses. Focuses on wind-induced vibration, creep effects, and the visco-elastic behavior of structures.
-
3.00 Credits
Using both exact and simplified methods of thin shell theory, such structures as domes, cylindrical roofs, tanks, hyperbolic paraboloids, folder plate roofs, and suspension forms are analyzed and designed. Effects of stiffening beams and edge stress are studied. Considers erection, economy and aesthetics.

Study of the dynamic behavior of such structures as beams, rigid frames, floors, bridges, and multi-story buildings under the action of various disturbing forces such as wind, blasts, earthquakes, vehicles, machinery, etc.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes theoretical and computer applications of mathematical models of traffic flow; deterministic and stochastic traffic flow models; queuing theory and its application including cases where arrival rates exceed service rates; acceleration noise and traffic simulation.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the non-travel impacts of transportation systems and the methodologies used to capture them for project evaluation; to develop and illustrate methodologies used for evaluating the effectiveness of transportation systems/projects including benefit-cost analysis and multi-objective decision models, and; to illustrate the analysis of different alternatives.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers logistics systems, with emphasis on the design and analysis of transportation and supply chain systems, such as the activities of transportation and supply chain systems, including transportation network design, scheduling, routing, contracting and pricing; interactions and trade-offs of these activities; and models and techniques for the analysis of logistics systems and the development of decision support systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the current and advanced optimization and simulation computer models used in traffic operations. Increased familiarity with the concepts and methodologies associated with selecting an appropriate model for a given situation. Covers the advantages and disadvantages of the models considered and is project-oriented, with students spending a significant amount of time in selecting and using these models to solve ‘real world’ problems.
