A continuation of CIVE 400. The final design of the major Civil Engineering project proposed in CIVE 400 will be undertaken. The purpose of this phase of the project is to carry out a detailed technical design of the solution proposed in CIVE 400. Requirements of this part of the two-term project include an oral presentation and a final report.

Prereq: 4B Civil Engineering students only.
Antireq: ENVE 431

This course addresses the design of new concrete infrastructure from a durability perspective. Durability design is approached as a process of assessing forms and severity of attack on a concrete structure, and providing the necessary resistance to those forms of attack. The course begins with a discussion of durability design as a limit state and an introduction to concrete material science. Specific durability topics include corrosion of metals in concrete, sulfate attack, freezing and thawing damage and alkali-aggregate reactions. Each durability topic is discussed in terms of exposure...
