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.

PRIMAVERA P6 Basics

Primavera P6 is a globally recognised one the most effective tool to plan, manage and execute civil engineering projects. But getting training of Primavera doesn’t come for free, most of the time. That’s why we develop our courses for a very nominal fee, yes you heard it right. It's only $5.00 if you are our subscribed member and you will not only get access to Primavera Course but also to all our courses that shows a $0 fee. Primavera P6 can sometimes be a complex tool to understand if your basics of using the tool are not clear. That’s why we develop our Primavera Basic Course for you to clearly explain step by step process to develop a project program. We use real-world civil engineering project examples and develop the program so you can easily grasp it and correlate it with your real-world projects. And you can view them as many times as you want. In the first module, students will learn about the following topics -Launching Primavera P6, start-up window, drop-down menus, toolbars, sidebars, option settings, etc. Please click to see the Preview of the Course. The second module provides details of Enterprise Project Systems (EPS). Primavera is a cloud-based Project Planning tool and it saves the projects program of the enterprise in EPS. So, it's very important for students to know how to operate EPS and how to create a new EPS category for a new project. The third module provides details of setting up a new project within a new EPS category within Enterprise Project Systems (EPS). The module also covers the process of developing a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) of a new project. This is the most important step of a project before assigning any activity. The fourth module provides a detailed process of creating activities of a project. We have developed a civil engineering project program, so the activities are developed for a civil engineering project. The fifth module provides a detailed process of setting up the calendar of the project. Primavera provides global and project-specific calendar options. It would be very useful to know when to use what type of calendar. The module also explains how to assign a calendar to a project. The sixth module explains the process of setting the layout page of the project program. It explains how to set the columns for activities, the Gant chart and the activity area. you can also customise the layout for a specific project or for a specific user. The seventh module covers the process of linking activities in three possible ways. It also provides details of predecessor and successor linking. The module also explains the linking process in a specific constraint situation and shows how that impacts the overall project duration. In the end, a high-level project program is created to demonstrate the whole process of project planning using Primavera P6.

Fundamentals of Road Lighting Design

Road Lighting Engineering involves the design, construction, operation & maintenance of Road Light and associated infrastructure to ensure adequate and uniform lighting levels are provided for drivers and pedestrians safety. Road lighting design supports lighting engineers to develop a lighting model to remove dark spots, provide a clear view of the road and associated infrastructure to provide a desirable minimum illumination for all road users. The first module covers key industry of road lighting engineering, basic principles of road lighting design, site assessment criteria before initiating lighting design and lighting terminologies. Within lighting terminologies, we have covered set back distance, arm Length, mounting height, straight vertical distance, candela (cd), footcandle (fc), Illuminance (E), luminance (L), lux (lx), the lumen (lm). The second module covers the basics of lighting design, luminaire selection, road lighting mounting options. The primary methods of lighting design are luminance method and Illuminance method. The module also recommends the illuminance level, for various road types, junction types, mid-block crossings, etc. The module also covers the concept BUG Rating System that provides a numerical rating of the luminaire light distribution as it applies to the lighting trespass up light and glare. The third module covers lighting column protection measures. passively safe lighting columns, road lighting cable network, smart lighting systems and road lighting maintenance regime. When lighting columns are placed very close to the road edge or at a vulnerable location, it is highly possible to be crashed by an errant vehicle? There are two possible ways to protect it, by placing road restraint system or by using passively safe lighting columns. The module has described both measures in detail. The module also describes the smart road lighting system such as LoRaWAN. The fourth volume covers the features of LED Lighting, advantages of LED lighting, implementation of LED lighting and LED adoption challenges. LED lights are diodes that emit high-quality light with high lumen efficacy and high lumen outputs. The module has described LED lighting and all associated features in detail. The fifth module covers standard details of lighting columns, LED lanterns, feeder pillars and chambers. We have also provided a bonus section where we have shared 20 interview questions & tips for fresh civil engineer jobs. It will help newbie civil engineers to better prepare for job interviews.
