CE 319 Introduces physical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel. Design and analysis of basic structural elements of reinforced concrete including beams, slabs, columns, and footings. Consideration of construction practices and building codes. CE 315 Principles of fluid mechanics and hydrology, including open channel and groundwater flow, rainfall, evaporation, and surface runoff applied to water resources development and management. Applications include water supply, drainage, flood control, and water control, emphasizing computer simulation tools.
Students plan and conduct experiments, and prepare written reports.
Exposes students to actual structural behavior and experimentally demonstrates the validity of assumptions made in analysis and design. Uses laboratory data to quantify hydrostatic pressure and force, force due to momentum impact, and flow rates. Also determines friction losses in pipe networks. I Analyzes the behavior and design of tension, compression, and flexural members in metal, and the behavior and design of bolted and welded connections. CE 326 Design of building and bridge components, including floor systems, rigid frames, retaining walls, and tanks.
