Expands on the basic design methods of CE-ENGIN 434. Includes plate girder design, composite steel and concrete member design, overall structure considerations, and other topics both extending on previous class descriptions as well as entirely new concepts. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 434.

This course introduces students to applications of probability theory, statistics, and decision analysis to engineering problems. Emphasis is placed on probabilistic modeling and analysis of civil and environmental engineering problems, Bayesian statistics, risk analysis, and decision under uncertainty.

An introduction to the analysis and design of offshore structures with a strong emphasis on structures for renewable energy applications, especially offshore wind energy. Environmental condition modeling, loads analysis and design standards are covered as well.

The primary objective of this course is to give students an exposure to the computer modeling techniques used in geotechnical engineering. Topics include consolidation, seepage, slope stability and stress distribution. We will outline theories behind each analysis. The students will write simple computer programs for idealized conditions, and will be taught the usage of typical computer packages provided in the course for solving more complicated engineering problems. Selection of soil parameters for civil engineering design will also be discussed.

Introduction to geotechnical engineering in the marine environment. Topics include the coastal geomorphology, behavior of marine sediments, marine site investigations, offshore geohazards, hydrodynamic loading, design and installation of offshore foundations and anchors, pipeline/riser/cable geotechnics.

Engineered ground improvement; slurry trenches, dewatering systems; grouting; deep dynamic compaction, vibro compaction; stone columns; wick and vertical sand drains. Emphasizes basic principles and design methodology. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 320.

Traffic control at intersections with an emphasis on intersection signalization; warrants that justify the installation of signals; signal sequence, timing, and phasing; pre-timed and actuated signals; traffic detection and signal controllers; computer simulation and modeling; algorithms and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of signals.

Fundamentals of traffic flow including its characheristics and their relationships; Mathematical models that describe traffic flow dynamics at multiple levels of detail; Solutions and applications of these models that capture traffic flow phenomena such as congestion and queue dissipation.

Highway location and geometric design principles for streets and highways with emphasis on roadway safety. Includes state-of-the-art design policies and current research findings. AutoCAD and transportation design computer software used for class assignments and the class project. Students enrolled in CE-ENGIN 516 will work in design teams on transportation design projects with an emphasis on creative design and problem solving through transportation systems management techniques. Prerequisite: CE-ENGIN 310.

This course provides a comprehensive insight into the analysis and design of flexible and rigid pavements, with a keen emphasis on sustainable practices. Students will explore significant design factors, engage in various analytical methods, and determine essential design input parameters. The course introduces the empiricalmechanistic pavement design approach and promotes design in adherence to the AASHTO and MEPDG guidelines. A strong focus is placed on integrating the pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) into pavement design.
