PERSPECTIVES ON THE EVOLUTION OF STRUCTURES (3) Arwade   Why do buildings and bridges look the way they do today? Students will be provided the tools to answer this question for themselves through a study of the history of the design of buildings and bridges throughout the world from both engineering and architectural/aesthetic perspectives. Simple math required  (no calculus).

STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY  Arwade   Reliability theory and its application to problems in civil engineering (primarily stuctural) design and analysis. The course will include some review of probability theory, statistics and the theory of stochastic processes/fields, second moment methods along with first and second order reliability approaches. Probabilistic modeling of loads is considered. Component-wise measures of reliability are investigated as a gateway to the theory, but estimation of structural system reliability is the overall objective of the class. The relationship of the theory of reliability to structural design codes is discussed. Course added 01/06/05
