Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THIS COURSE PROVIDES A GREATER IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A ROAD. ROAD INTERSECTIONS ARE ALSO STUDIED AND DESIGNED. IN ADDITION THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES FOR CORRECTLY DESIGNING RAILWAYS, AS WELL AS APRONS AND AIRPORT RUNWAYS ARE ALSO TAUGHT.

FOR THIS AIM, THE COURSE PROVIDES THE TOOLS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND IN DETAIL THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ROAD DESIGN STRATEGY AND INTERSECTIONS, AS WELL AS OF RAILWAYS AND AIRPORT RUNWAYS.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE AFOREMENTIONED KNOWLEDGE IS THEN APPLIED BOTH TO A ROAD AND INTERSECTIONS INVOLVING THE COMPLETE PROCESS OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS:
THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS IS BASED ON THE CHOICE CRITERIA THAT APPEAR TO BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR AN ACCURATE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF: ROADS, ROAD INTERSECTIONS, RAILWAYS, AND AIRPORT RUNWAYS.
COOMUNICATION SKILLS:
THE COMMUNICATION SKILL IS STRENGTHENED BY MEANS OF ALLOWING STUDENTS TO WORK IN GROUPS AND DISCUSSING BOTH AMONG THEM AND WITH THE PROFESSOR ABOUT THE CHOICES OF DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING.
LEARNING SKILLS:
TO BE ABLE TO KEEP BOTH THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED AND TO DESIGN ROADS AND INTERSECTIONS IN OTHER ENVIRONMENTS THAN THAT INVESTIGATED.
Prerequisites
THE EXAM IN “ROADS, RAILWAYS AND AIRPORTS I” HAS TO HAVE BEEN PASSED.
Contents
THE COURSE INLCLUDES THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSON AND PROVIDES:
CRITERIA AND METHODS FOR THE DESIGN OF A ROAD ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DESIGN STRATEGY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALSO ROAD SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT;
ROAD INTERSECTIONS (SIGNALIZED AND UN-SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS, ROUNDABOUTS, WEAVING AREA, AND TERMINAL RAMPS);
CRITERIA FOR DESIGNING RAILWAYS AND AIRPORTS;
APPROACH TO RETAINING WALLS FOR CONCENTRATE FORCES IS ALSO MADE.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS BASED ON THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSONS, AS WELL AS ON THE CORRECTION OF THE DESIGN BOTH OF ROAD AND INTERSECTION.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS BASED ON A DISCUSSION CONCERNING BOTH THEORETICAL SUBJECTS AND THE DESIGN BOTH OF THE ROAD AND INTERSECTION.
