Graduate and Research Programmes
Both co-operative and conventional graduate study in Civil Engineering can be undertaken, leading to the degrees of Master of Applied Science or Doctor of Philosophy. There are at present four major areas of study in which specialization may be undertaken: Structural Engineering*, Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources Engineering and Transportation Engineering.
Structural Engineering*. (Ariaratnam, Cohn, Green, Handa, Lind, Poorooshasb. Sherbourne, Topper and Wright). Laboratory facilities include a structural models laboratory, a concrete laboratory, a properties of materials laboratory, and a large structural engineering laboratory equipped with a 100,000 Ibs. Losenhausen universal testing machine. A major study in this area is Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. Among the course of study are CE 609 to 620. In addition, students may choose from a variety of appropriate courses in mathematics, physics and mechanical engineering.
Current research in structural engineering and applied mechanics include studies in non-linear vibrations, plastic instability of structures, lateral reinforcement and column ductility in reinforced concrete, model testing in soil mechancis, plasticity and instability in plates and in shell structures, behaviour of metal structures under cyclic loadings of low frequency, large deflection studies of shells and membranes, plastic strain and energy in fatigue, theory of design and safety of structures, inelastic behaviour of framed and shell structures, analysis of latticed space structures, ultimate load studies in reinforced concrete, elastic-plastic strength of pressure vessels, and studies of plastic wave propagation.
