CE 382 – STRUCTURAL THEORY II (4 credits)
This course presents traditional methods in Structural Analysis. It is a continuation of CE 381 – Structural Analysis I. In both courses the whole book by Hibbeler (Structural Analysis) is covered. Furthermore, lecture notes and slides, as well as worked examples were developed and provided to students. This course includes an extra two hour recitation a week. Each week, in recitation, students are given a problem to work on as a group and they turn it in at the end of each class. Both lecturers and graduate teaching assistants are available in class during recitation to provide continuous feedback on an individual basis and to support peer group discussions on how to solve and complete the assignment. Topics covered include: Analysis of statically determinate structures (beams, frames, trusses); Deflections; and energy methods, introduction to matrix methods are materials presented.
PREREQS: CE 381
CE 534 – STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS (4 credits)
In this course I developed a traditional curriculum to teaching Structural Dynamics, following the first 13 chapters in Chopra’s “Dynamics of Structures” textbook. Topics covered included: Analytical and numerical solutions for single, multi-degree of freedom and continuous vibrating systems. Behavior of structures, dynamic forces and support motions. Seismic response spectra analysis. MATLAB was used as a tool for developing solutions to homeworks.
PREREQS: CE 382 or equivalent.
CE 580 – PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN (3 credits)
PREREQS: CE 534 or equivalent.
CE 588 – PROBABILITY-BASED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN (4 credits)
Application of probability and statistics in the analysis and design of civil and mechanical engineering systems. Probabilistic modeling of loading and resistance. Probability-based design criteria including load and resistance factor design.
PREREQS: ST 314 or equivalent.
CE 419 – CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN – CAPSTONE (4 credits)
In this course I advised the Structures section of the Capstone project (30 students). This course provides the capstone design project experience exposing students to problems and issues similar to those encountered in the practice of civil engineering. Students should have completed ALL other required courses in their degree program prior to registering for this course.
