Hydraulic Structures I - E
A hydraulic structure is a structure submerged or partially submerged in any body of water, which disrupts the natural flow of water. They can be used to divert, disrupt or completely stop the flow. An example of a hydraulic structure would be a dam, which slows the normal flow rate of the river in order to power turbines. A hydraulic structure can be built in rivers, a sea, or any body of water where there is a need for a change in the natural flow of water.
Hydraulic structures may also be used to measure the flow of water. When used to measure the flow of water, hydraulic structures are defined as a class of specially shaped, static devices over or through which water is directed in such a way that under free-flow conditions at a specified location (point of measurement) a known level to flow relationship exists. Hydraulic structures of this type can generally be divided into two categories: flumes and weirs.
Reinforced Concrete Design III - E
In this semester, we will discuss the methods of designing slabs, where the student will be able to design and analyze different types of slabs in more than one way, in addition to knowing and designing slabs to resist punching shear. We will also deal with the subject of prestress beams and how to design and analyze this type of important and frequently used structural member in bridges. Finally, we will address the subject of structures where the student will be able to design as well as learn how the loads and moments are transferred between the different structural members.
Sanitary and Environmental Engineering I - E
Environmental and Sanitary Engineering is a profession that involves planning, design, management, construction, operation, maintenance in the fields of water supply engineering, solid waste management, sewage and wastewater engineering, environmental management and engineering, plumbing, fire protection and public health engineering all in accordance with governing laws, code of ethics and local and global technological trends and developments.
This course will introduce the principles and practices of water collection systems for various purposes, variation in rate of consumption, factors affecting consumption, fire demand, forecasting population, Water distribution systems, Collection and distribution of water, Pumps and Pumping Stations, and design of water treatment tanks.
Steel Structure Design I - E
Structural steel is steel construction material which fabricated with a specific shape and chemical composition to suit a project's applicable specifications.In modern construction, steel structures is used for almost every type of structure including heavy industrial building, high-rise building, equipment support system, infrastructure, bridge, tower, airport terminal, heavy industrial plant, pipe rack, etc.Because of the high strength grade of steel, this structure is reliable and requires less raw materials than other types of structure like concrete structure and timber structure.Depending on each project’s applicable specifications, the steel sections might have various shapes, sizes and gauges made by hot or cold rolling, others are made by welding together flat or bent plates. Common shapes include the I-beam, HSS, Channels, Angles and Plate. American Institute of Steel Construction Manual (AISC) will be used in this course,
