CEE 323C: Infrastructure Finance and Governance

Presentation and discussion of early stage or more mature research on a variety of topics related to financing, governance and sustainability of civil infrastructure projects by researchers associated with the Global Projects Center and visiting speakers. To obtain one unit of credit, students must attend and participate in all seminars, with up to two excused absences. Seminar meets weekly during Autumn, Winter and Spring Quarters.
Terms: Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable 2 times (up to 2 units total)
Instructors: Levitt, R. (PI)

CEE 324: Industrialized Construction

The course will present driving forces, comprehensive concepts, technologies, and managerial aspects of Industrialized Construction. Further a series of case studies of successful and failed industry implementations in Sweden, North America and Japan will be presented, showcasing process and technology platforms; use of renewable resources and other sustainable design and construction practices. The contrast between industrialized construction practices in Sweden, the U.S. and other countries is highlighted. Project-orientated vs. product-oriented approaches are essential, along with business models and strategies for industrialized construction companies and their opportunities for innovations. The course includes lectures, case studies, and course group-project assignments with leading companies in the industry.nnVisiting lecturer Dr Jerker Lessing, one of Sweden's leading experts on industrialized construction with more than 15 years of experience in this field, is giving this course. This is a unique opportunity to learn about this comprehensive, emerging construction concept. Dr Lessing's research at Lund University has pioneered the area of industrialized construction and established models and strategic perspectives that are widely adopted throughout academia and industry. Dr Lessing has published articles and books and he frequently lectures on the topic in Sweden and internationally. He is the Director and General manager of Research and Development at BoKlok, an industrialized house-building company which is a joint venture of the construction company SKANSKA and furniture giant IKEA. The class will be taught as a condensed two week course. Readings and discussions will be organized in the weeks before the lecture component of the class, a group project after. During weeks 1-5, class will not meet regularly and only meet a few times for reading discussions and guest speakers. When they occur, these meetings will be held either Tuesday or Thursday 8-9am in Y2E2 292A. A detailed class schedule will be available before the start of the quarter.nnNotes:nAttendance Mandatory. No Exam. Case and Problem Discussion. CR/NC and Auditing Not Allowed.nEligible for SDC Building & Infrastructure Development concentration area requirement.nnNumber of students limited to 20; prerequisites: CEE100 or equivalent. Please direct questions to jerker.lessing@boklok.se or adusser@stanford.edu and co

CEE 325: CapaCity Design Studio

Silicon Valley¿s rapid expansion has created explosive urban development in a fragile and under-prepared natural context. Delicate coastal ecology and rapid urbanization (expanding technology headquarters, new residential housing, parking, services, etc.) are competing for space. The same land also serves the regional functions of transport, open space, recreation, water supply, flood protection and wastewater treatment. Compounding the problems between these competing factors are global climate change instabilities increasing the certainty of catastrophic flooding, infrastructure collapse, and other urban resilience challenges.nnStudents will be immersed in a process that allows them to understand and spatially identify these risks, develop a vocabulary and an understanding of innovative tools to respond to them, and then work with expert practitioners to create unique design responses. Students will be provided with urban design frameworks (for planning, site development, and conservation) combined with advanced sustainable design concepts (such as resource co-optimization, adaptable infrastructure platforms, and high performance urban ecology) by working with expert lecturers and in small groups. Students will ultimately develop a series of visual and technical presentations to propose a final thesis for a local intervention that could be replicated in other coastal contexts globally.nnThis course has been designed to develop student learning through a project-based format. Students will be organized into design teams of 3 or 4 and will have the semester to collaborate with partners on an interdisciplinary proposal including policy and design recommendations.

CEE 328A: Multidisciplinary Design and Simulation of Building Envelopes

Curtain walls are a manufactured product ubiquitous in the world of architecture and engineering that must meet structural, thermal, acoustic, environmental, and economic performance requirements. This course focuses on design strategies for building envelopes and explores new design approaches including parametric 3D modeling, simulation, and Multidsiciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) methods that leverage computation to augment human abilities to identify novel, high performing solutions. Prerequisite: CEE 220A or equivalent. Limited to 16 students.

CEE 361: Turbulence Modeling for Environmental Fluid Mechanics

An introduction to turbulence and its modeling, including Reynolds-average and large-eddy simulation models. Derivation of closure approximations and models. Impact of numerical code truncation error on turbulence model value and accuracy. Discussion of typical models and their applications to turbulent flows in rivers, estuaries, the coastal ocean and the atmospheric boundary layer (e.g., wind turbines and weather models). Prerequisites: knowledge of hydrodynamics or atmosphere dynamics and the basics of transport and mixing in the environment; consent of instructor.
Last offered: Spring 2016

CEE 362: Numerical Modeling of Subsurface Processes

Numerical modeling including: problem formulation, PDEs and weak formulations, and choice of boundary conditions; solution using the finite-element code COMSOL Multiphysics with a variety of solvers and pre- and postprocessing of data; and interpretation of results. Problems include: flow in saturated porous media with complex boundaries and heterogeneities; solute transport with common reaction models; effects of heterogeneity on dispersion, dilution, and mixing of solutes; variable-density flow and seawater intrusion; upscaling or coarsening of scale; and biofilm modeling. Enrollment limited to 5.
Last offered: Spring 2008

CEE 362G: Stochastic Inverse Modeling and Data Assimilation Methods

Stochastic methods for the solution of inverse problems that are algebraically underdetermined or have solutions that are sensitive to data. Emphasis is on geostatistical methods that, in addition to using data, incorporate information about structure such as spatial continuity and smoothness. Methods for real-time processing of new data. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3-4

CEE 363A: Mechanics of Stratified Flows

The effects of density stratification on flows in the natural environment. Basic properties of linear internal waves in layered and continuous stratification. Flows established by internal waves.
