4.00 Credits
Selected topics in advanced transportation planning techniques, signalization design, airport planning and design and transportation economics. Course is designed to equip students with practical design-oriented knowledge of land-use impacts on transportation, travel demand forecasting, models of trip distribution and traffic assignment on the road network. Independent research report or design project required for graduate credit. Course credit cannot be given to students who have taken CE 425. Prerequisites: CE 323, GE 359.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of steel structures, including special connections, plate girders, composite steel-concrete members, structural systems and bracing for lateral load resistance. Coursework based on load and resistance factor design methods, in accordance with applicable national and international building code requirements. Prerequisites: CE 440.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of components of prestressed concrete structures, in accordance with applicable national and international building code requirements. Prerequisite: CE 360.
-
3.00 Credits
Asphalt and concrete pavement design for highways and airfields. Covers wheel loads and design factors; stresses in flexible and rigid pavements; vehicle and traffic considerations; soil classification and characteristics; subgrade, bases and subbases; and design methods. Combines soil mechanics theory and traffic requirements for an understanding of the fundamental behavior of pavements under traffic loads, with design of material and thickness to satisfy strength and serviceability performance objectives. Independent research report or design project required for graduate credit. Course credit cannot be given to students who have taken CE 435. Prerequisite: CE 321.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of masonry structures per current building code requirements with focus on reinforced masonry. Topics include general types and applications of masonry construction systems, basic masonry and reinforcing steel properties, introduction to fundamental unreinforced and reinforced masonry behavior and design philosophy, development of simple loads and load paths, load combinations, construction specifications and basic building applications. Design/analysis elements include wall, lintel and beam sections over a full range of behavior, including ultimate strength, serviceability and basic detailing; integration of masonry components into simple building systems. Introduces basic concepts of lateral bracing, diaphragm action, fire safety, architectural features and rehabilitation of older masonry buildings. Students apply mechanics of materials, structural analysis principles and methods first developed in reinforced concrete to the design of masonry components. Prerequisites CE 350, CE 360.
-
3.00 Credits
Development and application of matrix methods as the basis for modern computer-based structural analysis. Topics covered include matrix algebra; basic concepts of the force and flexibility methods; member and structure stiffness matrices; the gaussian elimination algorithm; and exercises in solving indeterminate trusses, beams and frames. Students learn to extend classical structural analysis to the advanced analytical techniques used in professional practice. Introduction to commercial software currently used by structural engineers. Independent research report or design project required for graduate credit. Course credit cannot be given to students who have taken CE 453. Prerequisite: CE 350.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in settlement and bearing capacity analysis of shallow and deep foundations, including application of insitu testing and numerical schemes to foundation design. Prerequisite: CE 430.
-
3.00 Credits
Current professional practice in the design of structural systems for buildings. Multiple material types are used in creating structural systems designed to resist dead, live, wind and earthquake loads in accordance with Uniform Building Code (UBC) criteria. Economical arrangements of components to achieve material compatibility, strength, serviceability and constructability are emphasized. The impacts of different professional disciplines' responsibilities comprising a typical project team are examined.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction of free and forced vibration of structures; equations of motion for single and multi degree-of-freedom structural system, response to harmonic, arbitrary or step excitations, analytical and numerical methods of natural frequency of vibration, linear and nonlinear system, un-damped, damped and rsonant behavior of structures. These genderal concepts on the dynamic behavior of buildings and bridges are related to the structural response under earthquake-induced motion. Structural design and analysis against earthquake-loading will be introduced.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes and evaluates capacity and level of service of highway facilities using methodology of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Covers operational, design and planning applications. Specific focus on the application of the HCM methodology to two-lane rural highways, freeways and multilane highways, ramps and weaving segments, urban streets and signalized intersections. Use of HCS software emphasized.
