ABSTRACT Courses and research in structural engineering include studies in structural mechanics, analysis methods, and design in concrete and steel. Faculty research interests and/or courses cover such topics as elastoplastic and viscoelastic behavior; static or dynamic response of bridges; design and analysis of plates; shell structures; cable supported and inflatable structures; modern computational methods of analysis; finite element methods of analysis; experimental analysis of structures; seismic and wind loadings on structures; approximate and variational methods of linear and nonlinear analysis; probabilistic analysis and reliability design of structures; behavior of materials; design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures; structural optimization, behavior, and design of metal structures; and plastic methods of design. Courses and research include also studies in soil mechanics, rock mechanics, engineering geology, earthquake engineering, soil structure, and soil-water interactions. The faculty research interests and/or courses cover such topics as soil dynamics, foundation design; practical problems in soils engineering; rock mechanics and loads on underground structure; soil-structure interaction and earthquake engineering; experimental and numerical methods in geomechanics; groundwater hydrology and subsidence due to withdrawal of fluids; engineering geology; and offshore structure foundations. Supplementary courses in structural engineering are available, and courses can be taken in engineering mathematics, solid mechanics, and computer methods. |

In this program all phases of designing structures are explored, including earthquake engineering, computer aided engineering and design, and structural safety. The program also provides students with a strong theoretical and experimental background in topics such as soil-structure interaction, soil dynamics, groundwater hydrology, geosynthetics, and landfill design. |
