The purpose of this course is to present practical guidance for the repair and upgrading of earthquake-damaged buildings with primary lateral-force-resisting systems consisting of concrete bearing walls, masonry bearing walls, or infilled frames. The guidance consists of a policy framework for facilitating the determination of the appropriate scope of repair or upgrading measures. The course also includes outlines of specific repair techniques that can address the component damage common to these buildings.
The criteria and procedures are based on the evaluation of the anticipated seismic performance of a subject building at three different times:
a) in its condition immediately before the damaging earthquake (pre-event)
b) in its damaged condition
c) in its repaired or upgraded condition

The safe treatment and disposal of wastewater are critically important actions to protect the public from disease-causing germs and parasites. Approximately 21% of United States home use and an unknown percentage of other non-residential users rely on onsite wastewater treatment systems to provide safe disposal of their wastewater. We will present a brief history on the growth of onsite wastewater treatment from pit privies to today’s advanced wastewater treatment systems and the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states when it is proposed for use. We will explain in detail the different components, types, and methods of onsite wastewater treatment systems. There will be a detailed explanation of the importance of in-situ soil to the safe operation of onsite systems, along with some of the evaluation practices used to determine soil characteristics. The importance of the proper operation, maintenance, and planning in protecting groundwater from onsite effluent will also be covered.

This course is designed to fulfill credit for the Professional Development Hours (PDH) of Civil Engineers. The objectives of this course are to provide students with knowledge and experience using the National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) program, familiarity with the scope of water resource hydrology, the role of precipitation in stream flow and the impact of climate change on streamflow modeling.
The NSS program is developed by the United States Geological Survey. Students will learn how to use the NSS program to estimate flood-frequency statistics (e.g., 5-year or 100-year flood) for hydrologic basins in all states. The course will cover different procedures for NSS setup, input preparation and extracting results on flood peaks and other streamflow statistics. Automated procedure for input preparation using Geographical Information System (GIS) web-based tools is also covered.
The following chapter provides knowledge of basic water hydrology, the role of the water cycle and precipitation to provide the statistical building blocks for the NSS program. The process of precipitation development, rainfall data collection and regression analyses are explained in detail. The course also explores and presents a basic overview of the field of water resources engineering, hydrology and the influence of climate change and global warming on the estimation of flood-frequencies used in the NSS program.
The effects of climate change on precipitation events with resultant impact on streamflow statistics are explained in the final section of this course. A brief history and causes for global warming and its influence on global climes is provided. The domination of greenhouse gases in the excess production of the Earth’s atmospheric Carbon Dioxide concentration along with description of stream characteristics and flood types is also explained.

We will present a brief history on the growth of onsite wastewater treatment from pit privies to today’s advanced wastewater treatment systems and the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states when it is proposed for use. We will explain in detail the different components, types, and methods of onsite wastewater treatment systems. There will be a detailed explanation of the importance of in-situ soil to the safe operation of onsite systems, along with some of the evaluation practices used to determine soil characteristics. The importance of the proper operation, maintenance, and planning in protecting groundwater from onsite effluent will also be covered.

The class will dissect a design project considering both engineer and surveyor perspectives and discuss specific issues that can (will) arise. Although this class examines a land development project the subject matter and lessons learned are applicable to any surveyor/engineer interactions.
The leaning objectives are threefold:
1) understand survey criteria – what is and is not included;
2) examine the needs of the engineer;
3) understand how to make the two compatible.
