Road infrastructure plays a vital role in more than just safe and efficient transportation. In fact, as globalization continues, roads are essential to the social and economic development of countries. This makes it important for engineers in the civil industry to have a strong hold on the underlying design concepts of roadways.
By taking this course, learners will gain a fundamental understanding of roadway design, survey data collection, horizontal/vertical alignment, geometric control factors, and pavement design. This course will elaborate on the selection of cross sectional elements based on roadway conditions. Learners will also be exposed to modern industry design standards such as the Indian Road Congress (IRC) and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
Who can enrol in this course?
This course can be taken by students or working professionals with a background in civil engineering.
On a daily basis we talk to companies in the likes of Tata Elxsi and Mahindra to fine tune our curriculum.
Week 1 - Background of Roadway Design
As roads connect people and vehicles across different locations, it is important that they are designed to tolerate loads. Learners must understand the fundamental engineering design processes and standards followed in the civil industry when constructing roads.
This week will cover
Week 2 - Survey and Design Standards
Before roads are constructed, the site and surrounding land is surveyed to determine if it is suitable and safe. For engineers working in the civil industry, it is important to understand the parameters surveyed, how the data is obtained, and how it is interpreted to make decisions.
This week will cover
Week 3 - Horizontal Design or Fixation of Roadway Plan
Roads have a horizontal and vertical profile, each having their own design considerations. It is important to understand the basics of horizontal road design, and the tangents, spirals, and curves involved in it.
This week will cover
Week 4 - Pavement Design
The pavement layer of roads is essential in safely and efficiently distributing the load of passing vehicles to the soil layer below. It is important for learners to understand the basics of pavement design, and the two main types - rigid and flexible pavements.
This week will cover
Week 5 - Vertical Design or Fixation of Roadway Profile
Highway roads have different elevations and alignments in their vertical profile. The vertical design of a road undergoes much engineering and consideration to ensure it is safe for vehicles to travel on. It is important for learners to understand vertical design consideration when developing roads.
