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.

Highway Engineering

The Course Modules are designed to help students to understand Highway Engineering & Highway Design. Highway Engineering involves design, construction, operation & maintenance of roads to ensure safe & effective transportation of people & goods. The Course provides various key design principles and design procedures to assist students to understand best design and construction practices. Please see the Promotional Course Videos for a quick flavour. Highways Design module provides the design process of highway link design, horizontal alignment, vertical profile, super-elevation, stopping sight distance analysis, visibility checks, verge widening requirements, departure & relaxation, and various design checks. Also covers kerb and footway development. Pavement Design module provides a detailed process of pavement design and covers full depth pavement construction process and Overlay/ Inlay treatment. It covers existing pavement improvement process, carriageway widening, and subgrade improvement process. it also covers high friction surface (HFS) treatment process by providing details cold HFS and Hot HFS. Junction Design module covers the design process of the 4-legged junction, 3-legged junction and T-junctions. It covers junction visibility, junction swept path analysis, cycle lane design and provisions for disabled road users. It also covers the basic concept of grade-separated junctions such as half cloverleaf, Dumb-bell Roundabout, 2-bridge Roundabout, etc. Roundabout Design module covers the detailed process of Roundabout Design. It covers the crown line design. entry/ exit design, deflection radius requirements and various value engineering solutions. It also covers various design checks, drainage low point checks and cycle lane design provisions. It also provides key tips to design a safe roundabout. Standard Details Module covers all highway details such as Pavement Details, Kerbing & Edging details, Footpaths details, Bus Stop Details, etc. These standard products are generally procured from suppliers and installed on the site as per the standard details requirements and specifications.

Dutch Style Roundabout design

Dutch Style Roundabouts are one of the most innovative roundabouts that provide priority to pedestrians and cyclists without significantly compromising vehicular traffic movement. Our Dutch Style Roundabout course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of the design process. It covers the centreline design of all four arms, crown line of Roundabout, and then gradually develops road channels, cycle tracks, footway, crossing facilities, etc. The first module starts with verification of the Topographical Survey. Here, the module explains how to verify the topo survey and make it fit to use as Xref for roundabout design. The module also explains how to change the colors of individual layers to make Xref less prominent. The second module explains the design process of Roundabout crown line, road centrelines, channel line design, entry radius design, exit radius design, splitter island design. The proposed layout set the foundation of the roundabout footprint so that footway and cycle facilities are provided safely. The third module explains the design process of cycle facility design. A circulatory uni-directional cycle track is designed. Inbound and outbound cycle tracks are designed and connected to the circulatory. The fourth module explains the process of footway design and crossing facilities. The back edge of the footways plays an important role in tie-into the existing. Segregated pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities are proposed. It is highly recommended to provide a pedestrian crossing facility suitable for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, therefore tactile are proposed at all crossing points. The fifth module explains the process of creating a General Arrangement Drawing. The module details out how to call all required Xrefs and how to use sheet layout, title frame, etc to develop General Arrangement Drawings. Finally, the module explains how to create a PDF of the General Arrangement drawing.
