Analysis of transportation facilities through a diagnostic study of transportation systems with emphasis on design, capacity and safety. Engineering practice oriented toward open-ended design solutions, mostly focused on roadway design.
Design, analysis, construction and management of flexible and rigid pavements. Stresses and strains, pavement materials, subgrade soil stabilization, bases and subbases, quality control, drainage, pavement-type selection, and pavement management.
Application of basic fluid mechanics to problems of importance to civil engineering practice. This includes flow measuring, closed conduit flow and pipe networks, open channel flow, turbomachinery (pumps), hydraulic structures, culvert flow.
This course studies the principles, methodology and analysis of geographic information systems and spatially-referenced data unique to water resources and hydrologic modeling. Lectures will explore the latest GIS concepts, hydrologic modeling relationships and data sources and be complimented with computer- based laboratory exercises.
Design of structural steel connections, beam bearing plates, column base plates, beams including lateral-torsional buckling, composite beams, and frame stability.
