NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION

CIVENGR/GLE 635

Geotechnical practice for remediation of sites containing contaminated soil and groundwater is discussed. Topics include non-invasive and invasive subsurface exploration techniques, methods to monitor for the presence of contaminants in the saturated and unsaturated zones, and geotechnically-oriented remedial action technologies.

CIVENGR/GLE 730

Determination and interpretation of soil properties for engineering purposes; physio-chemical properties of soil-water systems, permeability and capillarity, compression characteristics of soils, measurement of soil properties in the triaxial test, properties of frozen soils and permafrost.

CIVENGR 465

Introduction to data sensing and analysis technologies for the onsite data capture, analysis and visualization in construction projects. Experience of using close range remote sensors and computing tools to facilitate construction engineering and management tasks. Focus on 1) project 3D as-built modeling and documentation, 2) visual detection, tracking and activity recognition of construction equipment and personnel, and 3) virtual construction inspection and site tour in mixed reality.

GEOSCI/GLE 594

Survey of applied geophysics, including seismic refraction, seismic reflection, electrical resistivity, gravity, and magnetics methods. Basic physics of each method and modeling techniques and field procedures.

GEOSCI/GLE 595

The application of geophysical field methods for delineating near-surface features and/or structures as applied to engineering, environmental and exploration problems.
