Solid mechanics is the study of the distribution of stresses that a given load produces when applied to a solid element, and the calculation of the resulting strains, given the characteristics of the materials that make up that element.</p> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:31 +0000 franca.della-rovere@UU直播.Ca 82 at /civil /civil/undergrad/areas/transportation <p><a href="#Description">Description</a> | <a href="#Recommended courses">Recommended courses</a></p> <p>聽</p> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:30 +0000 franca.della-rovere@UU直播.Ca 74 at /civil /civil/grad/areas/hydraulic <p><a href="#Description">Description</a> | <a href="#Researchers">Researchers</a></p> <p>聽</p> <h2><strong><a name="Description" id="Description"></a>Description</strong></h2> <p></p><div class="image-caption-container lt"><img alt="Sustainability of Water Resources" title="Sustainability of Water Resources" height="210" width="320" style="float: left;" class="file-large lt" src="/civil/files/civil/styles/wysiwyg_large/public/images/water_resources.jpg?itok=EE8LU5kB" /></div> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:30 +0000 jorge.sayat@mcgill.ca 68 at /civil /civil/grad/areas/geotechnical <p><a href="#Description">Description</a> | <a href="#Researchers">Researchers</a></p> <p>聽</p> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:30 +0000 jorge.sayat@mcgill.ca 72 at /civil /civil/grad/areas <p>Although the Department is not divided formally into sections, the fields of study and research can be grouped into four main areas: environmental engineering and water resources management, fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, as well as structural engineering and construction materials. Selected courses are also available in the area of transportation engineering.
