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@±«ÓãÖ±²¥.Ca 82 at /civil /civil/grad/areas/geotechnical <p><a href="#Description">Description</a> | <a href="#Researchers">Researchers</a></p> <p> </p> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:30 +0000 jorge.sayat@mcgill.ca 72 at /civil /civil/grad/areas/hydraulic <p><a href="#Description">Description</a> | <a href="#Researchers">Researchers</a></p> <p> </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/nicell/enzymatic <h2>Principal investigator</h2> <p><strong><a href="/civil/faculty/nicell">James A.

Selected courses are also available in the area of transportation engineering. Descriptions of the topics of research and facilities in the four major areas are presented under each section:</p> Fri, 13 May 2011 17:34:24 +0000 jorge.sayat@mcgill.ca 38 at /civil
