ENCI 660 Special Topic – Project Management – Planning and Control Techniques N Allan Construction management is viewed through the lens of project management and the techniques available to the manager to plan and control project. Project lifecycles, feasibility studies, estimating and planning tools from work breakdown structures to computer aided methods are evaluated. Control techniques such as S- curves and earned value and how these are implemented by teams, organisations and project leaders is covered to ensure project quality and safety are achieved. ENCI 614 Timber Engineering (Block Course) A Buchanan Review of earthquake engineering principles; earthquake resistance of timber buildings; conceptual design of multi-storey buildings; ply shear and diaphragm action; traditional and innovative timber floor solutions; acoustics insulation and fire resistance. ENCI 615 Advanced Structural Concrete; Displacement Based Seismic Design And Retrofit Techniques** S Pampanin Seismic design approaches (force-based or displacement-based). Performancebased design and assessment philosophy. Seismic design of precast/prestressed jointed ductile concrete structures. Self-centering-dissipating hybrid systems. Vulnerability assessment of existing reinforced concrete buildings. Seismic behaviour of beam-column joints and frame systems. Modeling aspects. Retrofit strategy with composite materials (Fibre Reinforced Polymers, FRP) or metallic low-invasive solutions materials. ENCI 616 Finite Element Methods A Carr Finite element methods applied to civil engineering analyses. One, two or three dimensional analysis. Hybrid stress finite element formulations. Mesh generation. Boundary element methods. ENCI 620 Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering** M Cubrinovski Earthquake-induced ground response and failure; Ground response effects on earthquake motion and soil-structure systems; Seismic behaviour of retaining walls, deep foundations, embankments and stability of slopes; Liquefaction of sands, including evaluation of the potential and consequences of liquefaction; Earthquake resistant design and mitigation of seismic effects in geotechnical engineering. All topics will be discussed through case histories of major earthquakes, design applications and advanced methods of analysis. 24 `
ENCI 621 Concrete Materials and Practice J Mackechnie The course is intended to provide a thorough understanding of concrete as a material and its application in construction. Lecturers will include a review of concrete technology, advanced binder systems, durability, repairs and practical application. Due to the practical nature of the material, case studies will be used to illustrate the principles. Contributions from industry experts will also be given. Coursework shall consist of lecturers, laboratory demonstrations, site visits and written assignments. ENCI 657 Advance Shockwave Modeling for Fault Monitoring in Pipeline Systems P Lee This course will look into the detailed modelling of shockwaves in pipelines and builds upon the material in ENCI 444. The course will include an introduction into the modeling of shockwaves using the method of characteristics and the results from the models will be compared with real experimental/field data to identify the problems with current commercial codes. In particular the friction losses acting on a shockwave (unsteady friction) and visco elasticity will be investigated. These advanced modelling techniques will be applied for fault detection in pipeline systems. A small research project on the detection of wave reflections will form the final part of this course and will be undertaken in new fluids pipeline laboratory. 25 `
