IT for Smart City, CE553

Data science in the field of civil and environmental engineering is unique. We deal with a great variety of datasets originating from physical and chemical phenomena, and even anthropogenic events in the built environment. In particular, we need to process and analyze a variety of data produced in a smart city. Analysis with the data obviously needs background (domain) knowledge on the systems for a smart city. This course is designed to connect data processing with your domain knowledge. A data science approach to evaluate the system is discussed, and hands-on-examples to understand the approach will be used.

Continuum Mechanics, CE501

A material we have used in engineering is continuous. It completely fills the space where it is designed to occupy; leaving no gaps or pores at a macroscale. Its properties are then described by several continuous functions. The idealization of a continuous solid or fluid material needs tensor expression, definition of stress and strain, and developing constitutive equations.

Fracture Mechanics, CE623

Quasibrittle materials and structures are full of cracks. Their failure involves stable growth of large cracking zones, and the formation of large fractures before the maximum load is reached. This course reviews the phenomenon and analytical techniques for the cracking, which includes linear elastic fracture mechanics and size effect on quasibrittle fracture.
