503. Strength of Materials.
Fundamental laws of stress and strain; experimental methods for the
determination of the strength and elasticity of elastic solids; ties and struts;
beams of constant and varied sections; beam deflections by both direct
and accelerated methods; columns under both axial and eccentric loads;
struts and ties under lateral loads; reinforced concrete slabs and beams.

504. Hydrostatics and Hydraulics.
Fundamental laws of the equilibrium of fluids; strength and stability
of tanks, boiler shells, thick pipes, reservoir walls, lock walls, and dams.
Elementary principles of the motion of fluids; efflux from orifices; discharge
over weirs; flow in pipes and canals; gauging the flow of water in natural
and artificial channels. (Winter.)
505. Hydraulic Motors and Pumps.
Principles of linear and angular momentum and their applications;
water wheels; radial, axial, and mixed flow reaction turbines; impulse
turbines; centrifugal and turbine pumps, both single-stage and multi-stage;
reciprocating pumps; pumping mains; hydraulic transmission of power;
water hammer and inertia strains in hydraulic transmission lines. (Spring.)
