9. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Civil Engineering - Overview  World’s Oldest (Engineering) Profession –Everything was military and civil  Most Diverse? You Betcha! –UB: Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering  Most Satisfying? –Build it and see it

10. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Civil Engineering - Disciplines  Structural Engineering –Design: Buildings, bridges –Old: Don’t fall down –New: Earthquakes, tall buildings  Geotechnical Engineering –Design: Foundations, earthen works –Old: Support the load –New: Landfills, liquefaction  Construction Management Engineering –Design: People, $$, materials –Old: Scheduling, economics –New: Web-based inspection  Environmental Engineering –Design: Treatment, remediation –Old: Drinking water, wastewater –New: New pollutants, brownfields

11. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Structural Engineering  Molding materials we don’t understand into shapes we can’t analyze so as to understand forces we can’t assess in such a way that the public does not suspect our ignorance (safety factor)  Primary Tool: Force Balance –Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For each force, there is an equal and opposite balancing force

12. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Structural Engineering - Example  Overturning moment –Overturning moment = (area)(force/area)(moment arm) = (1450 ft x 178 ft)(60 lb/ft 2 )(725 ft) = 5.6 million ton-ft  Resisting moment –Resisting moment = force x moment arm = 150,000 tons x 84 ft = 12.6 million ton-ft  But… soil must be strong! 1450 ft 150-225 ft Sears Tower 60 lb/ft 2 150,000 tons

13. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Geotechnical Engineering  Where structures and environment interact  Primary Tool: Force Balance  Example: Sand Pile –How moist should sand be to make the steepest pile of sand? angle of repose

14. Chemical  Civil  Computer  Industrial  Electrical  Mechanical EAS 140: Engineering Solutions Geotechnical Engineering - Example  Do Force Balance  Shear strength = frictional forces + cohesive forces  Effect of water –No water: angle = 30-37 o –Some water: angle = big! –Lots of water = liquefaction
