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 five major areas of study in which specialization may be undertaken: Applied Mechanics*, Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Hydraulic Engineering.
Applied Mechanics*. Facilities are available for theoretical as well as experimental research in Applied Mechanics, structural mechanics, concrete, properties of materials, fluid mechanics, and experimental stress analysis. While the major emphasis is placed on thesis research, a number of graduate courses (C.E. 609 through 624) are being offered regularly.
Current research in Applied Mechanics and Structural Engineering includes studies in Structural dynamics, plastic instability of structures, strength and design in reinforced concrete, model testing in soil mechanics, plasticity and instability in plate and shell structures, low cycle metal fatigue, large deflection studies of shells and membranes, theory of design and safety in structures, inelastic behaviour in framed and shell structures, analysis of latticed space
structures, ultimate load studies in reinforced concrete, elastic-plastic strength of pressure vessels, studies of plastic wave propagation, infrared photoelasticity and hydroelasticity.
Geotechnical Engineering. Major subdivisions of study in this area are Soil Mechanics, Foundation Engineering and Engineering Geology. Appropriate courses of study are CE 611, 614, 650 to 654 and 698. The Department has two fully equipped soil mechanics and foundation engineering laboratories.
Current research activities are investigations into the yield behaviour of soils, earth pressure studies, foundation settlement research and model testing in soils, pleistocene geology of southern Ontario areas, and studies of stresses in earth dams.
Water Resources Engineering. There are several well-equipped laboratories that are used for demonstrations, teaching and research in the area of water resources. Biological and chemical treatment plant units are used to study and evaluate new methods to improve water and waste water quality. Both graduate and undergraduate teaching is carried out in these laboratories.
At the present time, several research projects are being carricd out within the water resources laboratories. One project is designed to evaluate the factors that influence the kinetics of anaerobic digestion. The rationalization of design criteria for waste water treatment systems is another current project. A third study is currently in progress that is designed to evaluate the effects and the changes in the concentration of the various forms of nitrogen within an extended aeration unit. Studies of the effectiveness of waste treatment by the algal-bacterial system, within aerated basins, is another current project.
Graduate course offerings in this area, are numbered CE 671 to 675. Supporting courses designed for graduate degree candidates who are interested in water resources are offered by the Department of Biology. Other courses in the area of Hydraulics, Chemistry and related fields are also available.
Transportation Engineering. Major subdivisions of study are Highway Engineering, Traffic Engineering and Urban and Regional Transportation Planning.
In addition to the core courses of C.E. 645 and 646, additional courses (698) are available in the areas listed above. Supplementary courses in urban and regional planning may be taken from the Departments of Geography and Sociology.
Current research activities include investigations into C.B.D. pedestrian circulation patterns, regional highway planning, urban transportation planning, pavement design and materials.
