Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

Our series of design projects allows you to explore both concept and detailed design and develop capability in tackling real-world built-environment problems to address the complex challenges of ...

Behold the beam, an amazing structural element that bends when loaded — but one that must not bend too much. A fallen tree spanning the banks of a river was perhaps the first beam used by primitive ...

In this interview, Professor Raúl Alvarez Medel, a structural engineer at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, explains the science behind the construction of resilient structures capable of ...

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...
