Objectives
RESULTS EXPECTED AND COMPETENCE TO GAIN:
TO LEARN, BY MEANS OF STUDYING THE INTERACTION HUMAN BEHAVIOUR-ROAD ENVINONMENT-VEHICLE, THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES FOR CORRECTLY DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING A ROAD; TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED GRAPHICALLY IN FORM OF DRAWINGS BY REPRESENTING IN RIGHT WAY THE FEATURES OF ROAD ENGINEERING.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
TO KNOW THE THERMINOLOGY USED IN THE FIELD OF: ROAD DESIGN METHODOLOGIES; BASIC CONCEPTS; DESIGN CRITERIA, AND ROAD DESIGNS UNDERSTANDING.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
TO BE ABLE OF APPLYING, IN THE FIELD OF NORMATIVE REFERENCES,THE CRITERIA OF ROAD DESIGN AND UNDERSTANDING THE PROFESSIONAL ROAD PROJECTS MADE BY OTHER ENGINEERS.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS:
TO BE ABLE TO INDIVIDUALIZE THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR DESIGNING THE FEATURES OF ROAD ENGINEERING, BY MEANS OF OPTIMIZING THE PROCESS
OF REPRESENTING THE ENVIRONMENT CONTAINING THE ROAD.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE COMMUNICATION SKILL IS DEVELOPED BY MEANS OF ALLOWING THE STUDENTS TO WORK IN DESIGN GROUPS, DISCUSSING BOTH AMONG THEM AND WITH PROFESSOR ABOUT THE MORE APPROPRIATE CHOICES OF THE ROAD, AND DESCRIBING THE DRAWINGS MADE.
LEARNING SKILLS:
TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED AND TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OF ROAD KNOWLEDGES AUTONOMOUSLY.
Prerequisites
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE IS NECESSARY A BASIC KNOWLEDGE BOTH MATHEMATICS AND PHISICS, AS WELL AS OF DESIGN SOFTWARE. THE EXAM OF CONCTRUCTION SCIENCE HAS TO BE PASSED.
Contents
THE COURSE, AFTER AN INTRODUCTION, TEACHES:
CRITERIA AND METHODS FOR THE DESIGN OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ROAD ALIGNMENT;
CONCTRUCTION OF ROAD EMBANKMENTS AND TRENCHES;
ELEMENTS OF CROSS SECTION,INCLUDING SAFETY BARRIERS;
CHARACTERISTICS OF ROAD MATERIALS;
PAVEMENT DESIGN;
APPROACH TO THE STABILITY OF RETAINING WALLS.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS BASED ON 60 HOURS OF THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LESSONS (6 CFU), AS WELL AS ON THE CORRECTION OF ROAD DESIGNS. STUDENTS ARE DIVIDED IN GROUPS OF 2-3 PEOPLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A ROAD PROJECT.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS BASED ON A DISCUSSION CONCERNING BOTH THEORETICAL SUBJECTS AND THE DESIGN OF A ROAD.
