Structure Design with CSI SAFE

CSI SAFE is specifically developed for the design of raised floor and foundation slab systems. A model based on 3D objects can be created in SAFE or imported from SAP2000, ETABS, or CAD. We cover the entire CSI Safe Structure Design Course in the following modules: The first module covers Introduction to SAFE and its basic interface. The second module covers the description and use of modelling tools in CSI SAFE software. The third module covers materials and modelling of Slabs. The module also covers analysis, design of slabs and data imports from Etabs software. The fourth module covers the modelling of flat slabs. The module also covers design checks for quality assurance purposes. The fifth module covers the design of isolated footings, modelling and analysis. The module also covers model optimisation. The sixth module covers the design of combined footing, design checks for quality assurance purposes. The seventh module covers the modelling of strap footing and shear checks. The module also covers the design of strap footing. The eighth module covers Mat modelling and analysis. The module also covers design checks for quality assurance purposes. The ninth module covers Eccentric Footing design. The tenth module covers Pile Cap design and modelling. The module also covers design checks for quality assurance purposes.

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.

Broad View of Civil Engineering

The Course Modules are designed to assist students to understand Broad division of Civil Engineering, capability enhancement of Civil Engineering disciplines and collaborative working practices. The course also provides details of various design stages, contract process, Road Safety Audit, Risk & Mitigation measures. The first module covers the identification of appropriate discipline in Civil Engineering and capability enhancement process of identified disciplines. it also covers all the stage of a civil engineering project from concept design to route selection to preliminary design, tender and construction stage. The second module provides a comprehensive process of the preliminary design of a new greenfield road development project. It covers all the key stages such as route selection stage, identification of preferred route, bridge design option, comparison of model benefits and BCR, public consultation of preferred routes, PD design of final option and road safety audit stage-1. The third module covers a comprehensive process of the detailed design of a new greenfield road development project. It covers all the key stages of detailed design, tender process, construction process and operation & maintenance stages. It also provides details of the most popular type of tender process such as Traditional Contract, Design and Build Contract and Public-Private Partnership Contract. The fourth module covers the complete process of road safety audit stage 2. These are the review of RSA-1, review of designer response RSA-1, review of DD stage-2 drawings and models. It also covers key project risks and mitigation measure such as design risk & mitigations, project risk & mitigations, commercial risk & mitigations, construction risk & mitigations, road user risk & mitigations.

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.

Fundamentals of P-Way Engineering

P-way Design involves the design, construction, operation and maintenance of Light Rail Transit (LRT), Heavy Rail Transit (MRT) and Highspeed Rail (Bullet Trains) to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods. The course modules share P-way or LRT Design in a detailed manner. The course has covered key industry of P-Way Design, Elements of P-Way such as LRV Bumpers, vehicle dynamic envelops, etc. The course module the design process track, horizontal design, vertical design, superelevation, the speed at curves, and track components, etc. The course also covers different type of Track Forms such as Ballasted Track Forms, Embedded Tracks.
