class of 3t5 - Engineering Computing Facility - University of Toronto

Welcome to our new Faculty members : Profs. H.L. MacLean, T.E. El-Diraby, A.S. Shalaby
Some of the research conducted by faculty members in 2001
Advanced treatment of drinking water (disinfection, control of by-product formation)
Intelligent transportation systems operation
Advanced concrete materials (high performance, durability, life-cycle analysis)
Faculty members engaged in research partnerships with:
• Mining companies (Falconbridge, Noranda, Barrick, Placer Dome, etc.)
• Consulting Engineering firms (Halsall , Golder, EarthTech, Delcan, Fortran, IBI, etc.)
• Manufacturers (Sterling Chemical, Lafarge Cement, St. Lawrence Cement, St. Mary's Cement,
Hankin Ozone, etc.)
Some of the research conducted by graduate students in 2001:
• Chris Fernandes - Modelling Water Quality in Water Distribution Systems
• Michael Sieca - Structural Assessment of Water Distribution Pipes in Toronto
• Terry Ramlochan - Enhanced Performance of Concrete Materials in Construction
• Murtaza Haider - Interaction of Urban Land Use and Transportation Systems
• Jason Crowder - Innovative Methods of Mine Tailings Management
A new Infrastructure Engineering Option Program in the Division of Engineering Science was
introduced in September 2001, mounted by an accomplished group of professors from the Department
of Civil Engineering (primarily from Structural and Transportation engineering areas), together with the
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (in the areas of Operation Research, Economic
Analysis, Logistics, Control Systems and Fracture Mechanics), from the Institute for Aerospace Studies
and the Department of Statistics. Professor Michael P. Collins, University Professor and Bahen-
Tanenbaum Chair in Civil Engineering, is Chair for Infrastructure Engineering and, Professor Eric J.
Miller also a Bahen-Tanenbaum Chair in Civil Engineering and Director of the Joint Program in
Transportation, is Associate Chair of the new Option.
The Infrastructure Engineering Option includes the following new courses:
- CIV 352H1 F (Bridge Design)
- CIV 354H1 F (Transportation Planning & Design)
- CIV 356H1 F (Infrastructure Design Project)
- CIV 357H1 S (Building Design)
- CIV 359H1S (Transportation System Performance)
- CIV 450H1 F (Reliability and Stochastic Processes)
- CIV 451H1 S (Infrastructure Renewal)
In 2001-2, the Department undertook construction and/or renovation of:
• The ITS Lab SF3102
• The Undergraduate PC Lab GB422
• The Undergraduate Materials Testing Lab GB13
• The Structural Testing Lab GB12
• The Geomechanics Lab GB308
• The Undergraduate Common Room GB123
