Course Description This course deals with basic fundamentals of continuum mechanics with applications to elasticity, visco-elasticity, plasticity, and fluid mechanics with an introduction to continuum damage mechanics. Objectives To equip the student with fundamental principals of continuum mechanics and how they could be used to derive constitutive relations and response of materials subjected to loads....Read More

Course Description This course introduces general fluid flow principles to Civil Engineering students. It demonstrates the principles through examples where the fluid is water. Civil Engineering projects such as hydropower development, water supply, drainage and flood defences require knowledge of fluid mechanics. Objectives Introduces fluid mechanics and establishes its relevance in Civil engineering. Develops the...Read More
