Infrastructure

Infrastructure refers to the basic facilities and systems that help society function, including buildings, roads, utilities and other systems. Civil infrastructure systems include the design, analysis, and management of infrastructures that support human activities, including electricity, oil and gas, water and wastewater, communication, transportation, and the collection of buildings that make up urban and rural communities. These courses include civil engineering topics such as structures, hydraulics, geotechnics and surveying. The trainees can also study the planning and construction of sustainable infrastructures with a focus on water technology, traffic, freeway and energy sector.

Earthquake engineering

Earthquake Engineering relies on the disciplines of structural engineering, structural dynamics, seismology, materials engineering, geotechnics, risk and decision analysis as well as probability and reliability theory in order to comprehensively record infrastructure performance in an uncertain seismic future. Earthquake engineers examine the reasons why infrastructure and buildings fail in the event of an earthquake, and then apply their knowledge to the planning, designing, construction, and management of earthquake-resistant structures and facilities. The trainees gain insight into the underlying principles of structural earthquake technology, including: analysis of seismic hazards, structural dynamics and inelastic behavior.

Structural material and Engineering

Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering, in which the laws of physics, mathematics and empirical knowledge are used to safely construct the supporting elements of structures. Contemporary structural engineering provides extensive and detailed knowledge that can be used to accurately predict the performance of various shapes and materials used in structures to withstand loads and stresses on structures. Structural engineering includes the analysis and design of structures such as buildings, bridges, towers, shipbuilding, dams, tunnels, retaining walls and other infrastructures. It supports and maintains the built environment in which buildings must be safe, maintainable, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing and economical. Structural engineers apply mathematics and physics to traditional building materials such as concrete, stone, steel, wood and glass as well as to innovative technical materials such as aluminum, polymers and carbon fibers.
