Dear students, welcome to the module of Digital Terrain Modeling 

Vibrations in structural systems may result from a wide variety of sources. Some of the most common and significant of dynamic loads imposed on structures are those caused by environmental conditions such as wind earthquakes and water waves. Of these environmental sources, earthquake appears as the most important in terms of their enormous potential for damage to structures and loss of human life. In addition, earthquakes are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage annually.

• Structural dynamics is a type of structural analysis which covers the behavior of a structure subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading.

A dynamic load is any load of which its magnitude, direction, and/or position varies with time. Dynamic load can be caused by Initial conditions, Applied forces or Support motion.

For structural engineers, earthquake engineering can be broadly divided into three areas, namely: seismology, seismic analysis, and seismic design.

-Seismology: The study of seismic sources (mostly earthquakes), the waves they produce and the properties of the media through which these waves travel. It is primarily an observational science. Quantitative measurements of seismic ground motion of as a function of time require physically well defined, continuously recording instruments.

An earthquake is a sudden and transient motion of the earth’s surface (vibrations of earth’s surface caused by waves emanating from a source of disturbance inside the earth).

The internal structure of the Earth is one of the key parameters to understand the major seismic activity around the world. The Earth may be considered to have three concentric layers: The innermost part of the Earth is the core and it is mainly composed of iron. The core has two separate parts: the inner core and outer core. The inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid.

This course intends to provide the students with understanding of the importance of water supply systems in society and with a good understanding of water demand estimation, design of water supply system including storage capacity and appurtenances of water network.

This module is designed to provide an understanding of quantity of wastewater, and storm water, design of sanitary and storm sewer system, appurtenances of sanitary, and storm networks.

Aims:

The course introduces students to the geologic survey and hydrologic factors controlling the occurrence, movement, and development of subsurface water. It will focus on two major aspects of groundwater, namely "groundwater as a resource" and "groundwater as a geotechnical problem". For groundwater as a resource, this course will focus on groundwater exploration, extraction, development,  management, and protection from chemicals intrusion,  whether they are naturally occurring or artificial pollutants. In regard to groundwater as a geotechnical problem, this module is designed to make students understand the impact of groundwater on geotechnical properties of soil, landslides, inflows under dams, inflows through tunnels, inflows into excavations, and to learn how to overcome such situations with geotechnical solutions.  This module will make students understand the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the behavior of groundwater at local and regional scales and its impact on the geotechnical properties of soils in general.

Construction Planning and Management introduces Planning and Management of Construction Projects to the students of year 4 Construction and Structural Engineering.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

1. To explain contract in terms of construction industries and apply the knowledge of Management in construction projects from preliminary stages to handover.
2. To   preparing projects plans and to do a project scheduling by calculating the time and cost of individual activities. 
3. To Plan construction activities competently and able to do scheduling of the project under uncertain activity duration.
4. To predict the actual flow of money during the contract duration,   to explain Project control procedures and advise client/contractor on any necessary variation.

This module “Civil Engineering Project Planning & Management” is a practical, step-by-step guide to project management for Civil engineers. This module describes the techniques and strategies for creating a successful civil engineering project. It introduces civil engineering projects and their management, and then proceeds stage-by-stage through the engineering life-cycle project, from requirements, and implementation, to phase-out. It offers information for understanding the needs of the end-user of a product and other stakeholders associated with a project and is full of techniques based on real, hands-on management of engineering projects. It will equip students with the skills, aptitudes, and knowledge required of project management professionals. It will teach a core set of project skills known as the ten project management knowledge areas, including managing project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, risk, resources, communication, procurement, and stakeholders as well as a solid understanding of the key factors that impact on project success and project management success, and the relations between project management and change management. It will make students aware of the issues in identifying and selecting projects and in planning, performing, and controlling the project, with much emphasis on civil engineering projects. Whilst drawing on project management theory, the module is focused on training students in practical skills based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), an international standard published by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
