Structural Engineering
Molding materials we don’t understand into shapes we can’t analyze so as to understand forces we can’t assess in such a way that the public does not suspect our ignorance (safety factor)
Primary Tool: Force Balance– Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For
each force, there is an equal and opposite balancing force

Structural Engineering - Example
Overturning moment– Overturning moment = (area)
(force/area)(moment arm) = (1450 ft x 178 ft)(60 lb/ft2)(725 ft) = 5.6 million ton-ft
Resisting moment– Resisting moment = force x moment
arm = 150,000 tons x 84 ft = 12.6 million ton-ft
But… soil must be strong!

Where structures and environment interact
Primary Tool: Force Balance
Example: Sand Pile– How moist should sand be to
make the steepest pile of sand?

Geotechnical Engineering - Example
Do Force Balance
Shear strength = frictional forces + cohesive forces
Effect of water– No water: angle = 30-37o
– Some water: angle = big!– Lots of water = liquefaction

Environmental Engineering
Design engineered systems and analyze natural systems
Primary Tools: Mass, Momentum, and Energy Balances– Mass: Where do pollutants go?
How well did we remove them?– Momentum: How do water and air
flow?– Energy: Chemical and mechanical
thermodynamics
Example: Urban Water Cycle– What is the water cycle?

Civil Engineering Curriculum
Two degrees offeredBSCE (Civil. Eng.)
Follow track or generalBSEE (Env. Eng.)
Less structural engineeringMore sciences - especially biology,
geology, engineering chemistry
BS in structural eng. - coming
Dual degreesBA or BS in CS/BS in civil – 4.5 yearsBS/MEng – 5 years, get both degreesBS/MBA – 5 years
