Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics in the design of foundation elements for structures. The course covers properties of soils; subsurface exploration; bearing capacity; design of shallow foundations and mats; earth pressure theories and applications to design of retaining structures; stability of slopes; and an introduction to deep foundations. Prerequisites: CE 3310, CE 3710.

Studies the statics and dynamics of incompressible fluids, primarily water. The basic principles of fluid flow, energy equation, and momentum equation, are presented and applied to closed conduit flow, open channel flow, and problems of flow measurement pertinent to civil engineering practices. Prerequisite: CE 2300 or equivalent.

This purpose of this course is to introduce and familiarize students with engineering economics. Students will apply the concepts of the time value of money to infrastructure management. Students will be able to compare cash flows using net present value, future value, and cost-benefit analysis. Students will use cost indices to complete cost estimations. Students will be able to make appropriate adjustments for depreciation and inflation.

This course covers the basic principles of aquatic chemistry as applied to problems in natural and engineered waters. Four specific reaction types will be covered including 1) acid-base, 2) precipitation-dissolution, 3) complexation, and 4) oxidation-reduction. Problem solving skills will be developed using graphical and analytical techniques. Students will also develop computer simulation skills. Taught concurrently with CE 4100

Economic theory and applications enhance transport demand analysis, transport pricing, welfare considerations and policy evaluation. This course illustrates the fundamentals of transport economics (costs, benefits and pricing), describes key factors that affect these (movement and location choice), and introduces different methods of economic analysis for quantifying the trends in and interactions across these topics. Pre/Co-requisite: CE 6410

Lab study/basic principles in environmental engineering inc. reactor theory, fate & transport in the environment, wastewater treatment unit operations, climate change dynamics, & life cycle assessment. Lab, field, & online simulations will be used to produce data for analysis. Opportunity to develop design/experiments methodologies and to work in teams on written reports. Corequisite CE 2100

Reviews basic stress-strain concepts; constitutive relations. Studies unsymmetrical bending, shear center, and shear flow. Analyzes curved flexural members, beams on elastic foundation, torsion, bending, and twisting of thin walled sections. Taught concurrently w/ AM 6010. Prerequisite: Undergraduate mechanics and mathematics.

Introduction of concepts, approaches, procedures, and codes for the design of civil structural systems with emphasis on the characterization of structural loads, structural systems and system behavior on structural systems constructed of steel and reinforced concrete. Topics to include engineering properties of materials, design and behavior of compression members, flexural members, and tension members. Prerequisite: CE3300 or equivalent.

Introduces the fundamental principles of particulate mechanics with an emphasis on soil strength, consolidation behavior, and fluid flow. Concepts of theoretical soil mechanics and soil physics. Prerequisites: CE 2310.
