Research carried out and reported under supervision of student's adviser as partial fulfillment of requirements for Master's degree in civil engineering or Master's degree in environmental engineering. May not be taken by those taking CE-ENGIN 679 Engineering Report or CE-ENGIN 699 Master's Thesis.

Unified treatment of the analysis of solids. Consideration of continuity, mechanical energy, stress and strain. Application to elasticity, thermoelasticity, and plasticity. Same as M&I-ENGIN 630.

Geotechnical analysis and design related to shallow and deep foundations. Topics include: site investigations, bearing capacity theory, analysis and design of shallow spread footings, isolated pads and mat foundations; total stress and effective stress design of drilled shaft and driven pile foundations. Emphasis on the presentation of designs in a formal geotechnical report. Pre Req: CE-ENGIN 620

This course examines the analysis and design of offshore structures within the theme of offshore renewable energy development, particularly offshore wind energy. Students will learn to determine loads generated by offshore environmental conditions, analyze structural response to these loads and design structural systems to resist them. Structures will include fixed-bottom and floating systems and include mooring and anchoring considerations for floating systems.

Engineering failures are always interesting stories which ignite concerns about the condition of our infrastructure and our methods of designing, constructing and modeling structural systems. Every engineering loss is also a lesson to be learnt through the study of how, why and what happened and what can be done to prevent future failures. This course will consist of two main parts. The first part will investigate prominent structural failures and will present to the students the forensic investigations outcomes and main related issues narrating the known facts reported.
