-
0.00 Credits
Lab must be taken concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
Identification and classification of soils, determination and interpretation of mechanical properties for civil engineering purposes, and introductory applications in the mechanics of foundations and earth structures. Topics include site investigation, index properties, hydraulics of soils, soil stresses, compressibility, shear strength, slope stability, lateral earth pressures, bearing capacity and settlement. Course extends engineering mechanics to the use of soil as a structural material, introduces foundation design. Laboratory must be taken concurrently. Prerequisites: GE 206, CE 308, CE 309 taken concurrently.
-
1.00 Credits
Field and laboratory testing procedures used to clasify soils and measure their mechanical properties are conducted. Importance of testing in geotechnical engineering is emphasized; appreciation fostered for the limitations, approximations and risks inherent in applying test results to foundation design. ASTM and AASHTO standards are introduced and followed. A subsurface soils investigation and formal geotechnical reconnaissance report of the proposed site for the senior design project is made. Take concurrently with CE 321.
-
3.00 Credits
Planning and design of urban and intercity transportation, emphasizing a systems approach to problem definition and feasible solutions. Introduces volume analysis, geometric design, signalization, parking studies and development of models for establishing design criteria for transportation structures. A formal report of a traffic reconnaissance study of the selected site for the senior design project is made by student teams. Prerequisites: GE 103 and Junior standing.
-
1.00 Credits
Field and laboratory techniques for observation and measurement of traffic data collected under operational conditions; analysis of data using software packages. Traffic studies include speed volume, travel time, delay, turning movements, peak-hour factor, gap, parking.
-
2.00 Credits
Development of models for hydrologic analysis and design, with application to systems such as canals, roadway drainage, sewers and dams. Analysis of rainfall intensity, runoff, unit hydrographs, storm water detention, river flow prediction, flood-routing and probability analysis. Course applies theoretical knowledge gained in fluid mechanics to the solution of practical design problems. Prerequisites: CE 308, junior standing.
-
4.00 Credits
Methods of analysis of statically determinate coplanar and space structures; introduction to indeterminate structural analysis. Topics include loads, reactions, shear and moment diagrams, influence lines, trusses, frames, deflections by the conjugate beam and virtual work methods, the method of consistent distortions, slope-deflection, moment distribution, and the stiffness method, with an introduction to computer techniques. Course links basic knowledge gained in statics and mechanics of materials to upper-division structural design courses. Prerequisite: GE 206.
-
4.00 Credits
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with the current ACI Building Code. Topics include basic concrete and reinforcing steel properties, introduction to fundamental reinforced concrete behavior and design philosophy, development of simple loads and load paths, load combinations, construction specifications and introduction to structural design/analysis software. Design/analysis elements include simple and continuous beams, one-way slabs, footings, retaining walls, and introduction to columns. Students consider elements over full range of construction and behavior including ultimate strength, serviceability, and basic detailing. Students learn to apply mechanics of materials and structural analysis principles to the design of reinforced concrete components. Prerequisite: CE 350.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of hydraulic principles to the analysis and design of selected hydraulic facilities including reservoirs, dams, spillways, outlet works, open channels, closed conduit flow, water hammer, pipe networks analysis and hydraulic machinery. Course provides the practical extension of fluid mechanics theory to the design of hydraulic structures. Prerequisite: CE 308.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the effects of pollutants on the environment, and to the processes and design procedures for water and wastewater treatment plants. Topics include conceptual design of unit processes and operations, pretreatment, sedimentation, filtration, aeration, disinfection, sludge treatment and disposal, and advanced treatment. The basic knowledge gained in chemistry and fluid mechanics is combined and extended to the analysis of pollution effects and design of treatment facilities. Prerequisites: CE 308, CHM 141.
