Structural Engineering and Mechanics
Graduate study in the Structural Engineering and Mechanics area is designed to satisfy both the need for advanced specialized knowledge for those students planning to enter (or return) to the profession, and at the same time, to provide Ph.D. students with the tools necessary to perform doctoral research.
The structural engineering faculty members teach and perform research in a broad range of areas. The structural engineering faculty are actively working in the areas of:
active and passive control systems
computational mechanics
computer-aided design
earthquake engineering
nondestructive evaluation
risk and reliability
steel and composite structures,
structural design and analysis of reinforced concrete
wind engineering
