CIV E 697 - Rock Engineering

3 units (fi 6)(FIRST, 3-1S-1)

Elements of structural geology, analysis of the geometry of rock defects, properties of intact rocks. Properties of rock masses and stresses in rock masses, stability of rock slopes. Rock foundations and underground excavations in rock. Case studies.

CIV E 395 - Civil Engineering Analysis

3 units (fi 8)(EITHER, 3-0-2/2)

The formulation of partial differential equations for modeling civil engineering problems. Introduction to analytical and numerical solution techniques. Prerequisites: MATH 201, MATH 209 and CIV E 295.

CIV E 698 - Petroleum Geomechanics

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Application geotechnical engineering principles to petroleum engineering problems. Principles of thermo-poroelasticity are reviewed. Borehole stability, hydraulic fracturing, subsidence/heave, sand production, formation damage and reservoir-geomechanical modelling are the major topics for the course. Special attention is given to geomechanical influences on reservoir flow processes. Prerequisite: consent of Instructor.
