Civil Engineering Advanced Topics 1

Course aim

To provide students with the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge in specialist areas of civil engineering.

Course content

The course will be offered in a modular form. Each student must choose any three of the following 4-week duration modules to make up the course. The number and topics of modules available each study period may vary due to lecturer availability, so not all modules will be available each time the course is offered. Each module will be made available over a specific 4-week part of the study period. Modules initially available are: 

• Cold-formed steel structures
• Composite structures
• Earthquake engineering
• Masonry design
• Piled footing design
• Advanced geotechnical engineering
• Design of siphonic drainage systems 

As additional modules are developed, they will be advertised to final year students and added to the course statement. Additional modules may also be offered by visiting academics as available on a one-off basis.
