Foundation Engineering
The fundamental theme of the course is the analysis and design of structural building and bridge foundations based on advanced principles of soil mechanics. These advanced principles of soil mechanics include compressibility, shear strength, and bearing capacity. The types of foundations analyzed and designed include spread footings and pile foundations.
Engineering Geology and Rock Engineering
This course provides a wide knowledge in engineering geology, rock mechanics, and associated engineering applications, which will cover topics such as geological structures, geological maps, rock types and minerals, laboratory and field testing of rocks, rock excavations and support, and rock structures (e.g. slopes, foundations, caverns, tunnels). Engineering geology and rock engineering form the backbone of today's fossil energy exploration, energy production, geological storage, and subsurface infrastructures. The influences of rock properties on the engineering performance of rock structures are discussed.
Undergraduate
Geotechnical Engineering
The course deals with the basic principles of geotechnical engineering including soil properties and soil mechanics. The study of soil properties includes soil gradation, void ratio, porosity, water content, degree of saturation, specific gravity, soil consistency, soil classification. The study of soil mechanics includes permeability, capillarity, seepage, and stresses in soils.
Statics
The course deals with the study of engineering statics which includes the statics of structural systems such as beams, trusses, and frames. The study of structural systems includes equilibrium, structural analysis, and geometric properties of determinate structural members.
Civil Engineering Systems
The course deals with the theories and principles of civil engineering systems as applied to real-world analysis and design problems. The course covers four important areas of civil engineering systems: linear programming, project scheduling, probability and statistics, and engineering economics.
