Graduate and Research Programmes Both co-operative and conventional graduate study leading to the degree of Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) can be undertaken in Civil Engineering. At present, there are five major areas of study in which specialization may be undertaken: Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources and Sanitary Engineering, Transportation Planning and Engineering, and Hydraulics and Water Resources Systems Planning. +Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics. Major subdivisions of study are applied mechanics, structural mechanics, concrete structures, properties of materials, experimental mechanics, and stochastic systems. Graduate courses in this area are CE 605 to 635 inclusive; other courses may be offered in the 700 series. Current research includes studies in structural stability and dynamics, large deflections of membranes, elastic and inelastic continua, structural response to random excitation, hydroelasticity, analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete Department of Civil Engineering structures, structural optimization, computer aided design of structures, strength and safety of structures, analysis of latticed space structures, strength of pressure vessels, plastic behaviour of shells, mechanisms of fatigue failure in materials, longwave photoelasticity, photoelastic techniques in fatigue and flow problems, and nonlinear stochastic processes. Transporation Planning and Engineering. The major areas of study are urban transportation planning, transporation systems analysis, highway planning and engineering, traffic engineering and air transport planning. The graduate courses offered within the group are CE 640 to 649 inclusive. Additional courses are available in urban and regional planning, economics, sociology and operations research. Current research activites include investigations in transportation systems analysis, urban transportation analysis methods, urban land use models, economic analysis of transportation systems, intercity air transportation of persons and goods and studies of bituminous materials. Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. Major subdivisions of study in this area are soil mechanics, foundation engineering and engineering geology. Graduate courses CE 650, 658 and 664 are offered regularly. Additional special graduate courses may be offered if there is sufficient demand. Current activities include studies on the yielding of soils, settlement of structures, model testing, seepage and engineering geology. Water Resources and Sanitary Engineering. Graduate course offerings in this area are CE 671 to 675 inclusive and CE & 791 and CE 792. Supporting courses are available in biology, hydraulic chemistry and other related fields. At the present time, research involves work on the kinetics of biological waste treatment (aerobic and anaerobic), specific industrial waste treatment problems, the use of coal for waste treatment, and evaluation of the applicability of trickling fitlers for waste treatment in cold climates. Both laboratory-scale and pilot plant facilties are being used in these studies. The Department has several well-equipped laboratories that are used for demonstrations, teaching and research. Biological and chemical plant units are used to study and evaluate new methods to improve water and waste quality. Hydraulics and Water Resources Systems Planning. The available courses are CE 685, 686, 687, 688, 689, 791 and 792. Courses in associated areas of fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, planning and economics are also available. Current research in this area lies in the fields of open channel hydraulics, sediment transport, hydroelastic vibrations and water resources systems planning. Graduate Course Descriptions
