1976–77

No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1976–77 (before that, 1969–70 used the number for Elementary Mechanics of Continua); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

A course in open channel flow. Classification of open channel flow, energy and momentum principles, critical flow, uniform flow, design of channels, gradually and rapidly varied flows, flood routing. Department of Civil Engineering 343 Courses numbered within 500 series are considered to be undergraduate courses but are intended to form a transition from the undergraduate to the graduate programme in certain areas of Civil Engineering. They serve two major functions. 1) to provide electives for the undergraduate so that he may specialize in a particular area. 2) to provide background information for the graduate student when such is lacking. Courses of this series may be credited — toward a graduate degree.

As printed in the 1972–73 to 1976–77 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

    Another title: Elementary Mechanics of Continua, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

    A general introduction to the mechanics of solids and fluids. Stress deformation and flow. Materials and their rheological properties. The equations of elastic solids; problems in linear elasticity. Equations of fluid mechanics. Problems in viscous and ideal fluid flow. Yield criteria; the flow rule. Simple problems in plasticity and theoretical soil mechanics.
