The work of this course is divided between a theoretical
study of statically indeterminate structures and the design
of a variety of small structures. A thorough theoretical
study is made of the deflection of beams and trusses and
of the methods of least work, slope deflection, moment
distribution, and the column analogy. Secondary stresses,
space framework and wind stresses in buildings receive
their proportion of attention. Throughout the work in
theory those structures that are to be later designed and
detailed are used for class problems, thereby making a
close tie between the theory and design and eliminating
an unnecessary amount of duplication in arithmetical
calculations. Problems are given in the design of, and
complete preparation of plans for roof trusses, buildings,
foundations, abutments, retaining walls, trestles, trusses,
girders, and frames of concrete, steel, and wood, with
a study of timber, riveted, and welded framing. Highway
loadings are used in preference to railroad loadings in
order to simplify computations. Particular emphasis is
placed upon orderly and complete computations, standard
and practical considerations of design and detail, and
thoroughness and neatness in drafting. Given to senior
students in civil engineering.

the taking of the course._
CE 30 Structures.
Courses CE 30-1 and CE 30-2 will be combined in one senior
course in 1940-41 and later years.
CE 40 Hydraulics. Prerequisites, Math. 21, Mech. 20.
The subject matter is the same as in CE 41. In addition, a
laboratory course is given, in which the characteristics
of flow are studied for various types of conduits and
measuring devices, and also for various degrees of
viscosity of the liquid. Given to students in civil
engineering.

CE 41 Hydraulics. Prerequisites, Math. 21, Mech. 20.
This is a text-book and problem course. The subject
of hydrostatics is treated briefly, from the point of
view of review work in physics and applied mechanics.
In hydrokinetics, the energy balances are emphasized as
providing means of solving problems in theoretic flow
through orifices, pipes, open channels, and over weirs.
Constant emphasis is placed on the degree of precision
obtainable, in practice, by the use of the available
experimentally determined constants to modify theoretical
computations to meet actual conditions. Given to chemical,
electrical, and mechanical students.
