Control concepts and methods for single intersection, arterial systems and area traffic networks. Traffic control system techniques using measures of effectiveness (MOE’s) for roadway intersections, arterials and networks evaluation & improvement. Recommendation of new improved network structure for planning consideration.

Application of soil classification methods to evaluate subgrade materials, introduction to various tests used to characterize pavement materials, stabilization techniques of subgrade and subbase materials, introduction to material variability and quality control, pavement evaluation and rehabilitation, pavement construction.

Principles and practices of urban transportation planning process, examination of the characteristics of urban travel, the application of systems approach to transport planning, survey design and data management, and calibrations of urban transport demand and supply models and alternative plan evaluation and the impact of transport systems on the environment.

A comprehensive coverage of flexible and rigid pavement design, including mix and structural designs, analyses of the effects of traffic, environment, soil support, and stiffness of paving materials on the structural design of pavements, design of drainage systems, pavement performance and condition surveys.

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of design of structural elements fabricated with structural steels. This course covers design process and procedures of structural elements experiencing tension, compression, shear and flexure, beam and column joints, and bolted and welded connections. The design specifications are based on LRFD method of AISC.

The course covers mechanics and design for various types of reinforced concrete (RC) elements like two-way slabs, columns, stairs, and footing in a reinforced concrete building system. The design specifications are according to code of American Concrete Institute (ACI-318)

Introduction to pre-stressed concrete, pre-stressing systems, materials, analysis and design of sections for flexure, shear and torsion, partial losses of pre-stress force, composite beams, continuous beams, camber and downward deflections.

This course aims at providing students in-depth knowledge of computer aided analysis (CAA) and design (CAD) of reinforced concrete and structural steel structures. The course reviews theoretical background of the analysis and design systems available in CAA and CAD., CAA and CAD include analysis and design of concrete beams, columns, and slabs, and steel beams, columns, and frames. The course requires a design project of simple structural system using CAA and CAD. The design specifications are based on LRFD method of AISC for steel structures, and ACI for reinforced concrete structures.

Materials, mechanical behavior and specifications, flexural behavior and design, design for shear and normal forces, walls and columns, lateral load resisting elements, connections and joints, design of a typical structure.

Design and analysis of advanced reinforced concrete elements: Analysis and design of slab using strip method and yield line theory, slenderness effects in long columns, design of combined footings, strap footing, pile foundations, retaining walls, water tank, mat foundation, and design of torsion effects in beams.

The capstone design course is an opportunity for students to demonstrate that they have achieved the learning objectives established by the civil engineering department. It integrates the various skills and learning experiences acquired from courses within the field of civil engineering (Coastal Engineering, Construction Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Water Resources & Environmental Engineering) to design a project. The tools employed in this project will include design codes & manuals (ACI, AISC, IBC, AASHTO, etc.) in addition to the latest software such as: STAAD-PRO, AutoCAD, PROKON, ADOSS, PCA-COLUMN, PCA-SLAB,
PCA-FOOTING, PLAXIS, GIS, Microsoft Project, Primavera, etc.
