Tunnel Engineering

Road tunnels are alternative ways, to cross a physical obstruction such as a mountain, or river, etc. Tunnels are considered as a viable solution, to minimize environmental impact, noise pollution, air pollution compare to the elevated viaduct. It is also intact the historical spirit of the location, such as archaeological value, conservation of endangered species and natural habitat. Our Tunnel Engineering course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of Tunnel Engineering. It covers the definition of a tunnel, its shape, criteria of tunnel consideration, type of tunnels, tunnel lining, tunnel construction engineering, rock tunnelling, soft-ground tunnelling, etc. The first module starts with shapes and elements of tunnels, criteria of tunnel consideration such as ground condition, environmental impact, land use restriction, constructability, sustainable development, etc. The module then shares the types of tunnels based on the method of construction such as cut and cover tunnels, bored tunnels, soft ground tunnels, immersed tunnels, jacked box tunnels. The second module covers the horizontal and vertical design of tunnel alignment, cross-section element, geotechnical Investigation and details of cut and covers tunnel. The third module covers rock tunnelling and soft-ground tunnelling. The module explains how rock behaves, fails and rock failure mechanism. The module then explains rock tunnelling methods like drill and blast method, tunnel boring machine (TBM), and road headers method. The module also covers soft ground tunnelling methods like shield tunnelling, slurry tunnelling, sequential Excavation Method (SEM), The fourth module covers tunnel lining and tunnel construction engineering. Tunnel linings are installed for reasons like providing ground support, maintain the tunnel opening, limit the inflow of groundwater, provide a base, for the finished exposed surface of the tunnel, etc. The module covers the key points of tunnel design consideration like lining stiffness, and deformation, durability, high-density concrete, corrosion protection, lining joints, etc. The module also covers the reasons for lining stiffness, deformation and mitigation measures. Lastly, the module covers key aspects of tunnel construction engineering such as Constructability, Construction Sequencing, Mucking and Disposal and Health & Safety.

Basics of Bridge Engineering

Bridge Engineering is the key discipline branching out from civil engineering and it involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of bridges to ensure safe and effective transportation of vehicles, people and goods. The course modules provide a high-level overview of Bridge engineering and cover details like Element of Bridges, Type of Bridges, Siting of Bridges, Analysis of Bridge Structure, Influence Line Diagram, Design of Deck Slab, Design of T Girder, etc. Module 1: Bridge Engineering and Design The first module starts with Siting Criteria of the bridge of details out various reasons to select a particular location as a preferred site for bridge against many other locations. It shows a flow chart to filter out the less feasible locations and drill down to the preferred site location. The module also covers details of various types of bridges and key reasons to select one type of bridge over the others. Module 2: Bridge Elements The second module details the elements of the Bridges. The Element of Bridges is an exhaustive list, so Superstructure, Expansion Joints, Bearings are covered in the second module and the remaining elements are covered next module. Module 3: Bridge Elements The third module covers the remaining elements of the Bridges. Sub-structure, Foundation and secondary elements are covered in this module. Module 4: Steps of Bridge Design The fourth module covers Hydraulics analysis of river flow is discussed to calculate the maximum discharge of river flow. Thereafter, the loading of parameters of the bridge deck and girders are discussed. The module also covers the Finite Element Analysis. The objective of Finite Element Analysis is to find a localized failure, in the bridge due to a vehicular impact and how detailed modelling can help to determine all possible failures.

Road Restraint System Design

Road Restraint Systems are designed to reduce the severity of injuries if a vehicle leaves the carriageway and would otherwise encounter a hazardous feature (such as on-coming vehicles, an embankment, a lighting column, trees, etc.). The Course Module shares key aspects of Road Restraint System (RRS) Design Process, RRS Examples, Innovations and RRS Standard Details. Please see the Promotional Course Videos for a quick flavour. The first module covers all types of RRS systems like flexible system, semi-rigid barriers, rigid barriers and bridge parapet. It also covers RRS family such as vehicle restraint system and pedestrian restraint system. It covers RRS appraisal process and various situations where RRS would be a preferable solution like embankment, cutting, single hazards, culverts, etc. The second module covers Road Restraint System terminologies such as containment levels, working width, set back distance, types of terminals, Length of needs, etc The third module covers Road Restraint System examples, visibility criteria, transition barriers, etc. The fourth volume covers lesson learnt in various cases such as missing working width, missing set back, missing transition barrier and broken terminals. It also covers Innovative solution like Rolling Barriers, Crash Cushions and Noise Barriers. The fifth module covers Road Restraint System standard details of the concrete barrier, steel barrier, wire rope barrier and terminals.

REVIT Structure

REVIT Structure is Autodesk' software for Structure Design or Structure Engineering. Revit performs structural analysis and exports the structural analysis and design by using the analytical model. REVIT simplifies the process to create structural details from a 3D model. It enables connecting to multiple structural analysis applications. It accelerates construction Modelling and that assists to gain better construction vision from the 3D Model. The first module covers Introduction to REVIT, its advantages and its basic settings. The second module covers the Interface of REVIT and functions. It discusses workspaces like project browser tab, property tab, toolbar tabs, etc The third module covers the usage of different toolbars in REVIT such as structure, system, analyse, massing & site, etc in a detailed manner. The fourth module covers REVIT Architecture Plan development. The module shows how to develop REVIT Architecture Plan (Ground Floor), 3D model development, etc. The fifth module covers the REVIT Architecture Plan development of upper floors. It module shows how to develop REVIT Architecture Plan (first floor, rooftop), staircase, 3D model development, etc. The sixth module covers dimensioning, tagging, naming each component of the building. The module also covers the placement of the furniture in each room, electrical appliances, etc. Finally, the module shows how to develop a sheet layout of plans, elevations and isometric views. The seventh module covers structure framing, structure modelling, foundation modelling, etc. The module also covers the modelling of beams, columns and slabs. The eighth module covers footing development and detailing. The module shows how to provide concrete reinforcement and steel bars within the footings. The ninth module covers columns, beams, slabs development and detailing. The module shows how to provide concrete reinforcement and steel bars within the columns, beams and slabs.
