CIV1429H	Advanced Rock Engineering: Fractured Rock Masses Advanced Rock Engineering: Fractured Rock Masses Rock masses can be defined as made of intact rock blocks and discontinuities (joints, faults, etc…). It is the presence of those weak features that determine the overall hydro-mechanical response of the rock mass that engineers observe in the field. Therefore, to correctly engineer any structure in rock, we cannot relay only on the mechanical properties of the intact rock, but we need to be able to properly understand the role that fractures play on the overall behaviour that we observe, and how to account for them during the different phases of the rock engineering design. This course will try to address this specific issue by presenting the latest scientific discoveries and engineering approaches in the field. It will also present students with innovative methodologies for the quantification of fracture shear strength, rock mass mapping, and rock mass modeling tools such as the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method for simulating damage and fracture in geomaterials.

CIV1599H	Special Studies in Civil Engineering - Transportation: Urban Activity, Air Pollution and Health Special Studies in Civil Engineering - Transportation: Urban Activity, Air Pollution and Health In urban areas, transportation is a major contributor to air pollution. Increasing awareness of this fact has led to the introduction and tightening of standards governing vehicle emissions and fuel quality. Nevertheless, changing land-use patterns and travel behaviour have offset some of the benefits of emission control technology. An increasing fraction of populations in metropolitan areas around the world, lives, works, or performs its daily activities in the vicinity of busy roads. There is therefore a need to turn our attention towards understanding the interactions between the daily activities of urban dwellers, the generation and dispersion of traffic emissions in urban environments, and the resulting health effects. In this course, the challenge of air pollution is introduced with a focus on urban areas; we will investigate the link between transportation, air quality, and health. Core topics include: overview of air pollutants in urban areas, characterizing mobile source emissions (with focus on gasoline and diesel engines), air pollution and meteorology, atmospheric dispersion (gaussian and non-gaussian formulation with focus on urban canyons), air quality monitoring.
