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.

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.

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. Along with this, the course covers key features of Tram Stop, type of stops, surface finish, etc. In the First Module, we have commenced the course with the key industry of P-Way Design. The module then explained the features of Tram like LRV vehicles, pantographs, crash energy management (CEM), LRV Bumpers, vehicle dynamic envelopes, platform clearance, etc. In the Second Module, we have described Track horizontal design and covers link and curve section design, superelevation or cant deficiency and superelevation unbalance. The course module has also described how to define the speed of LRT Track at curves and the categories of speed at curves such as overturning speed, safe speed, maximum authorised speed and signal speed. In the third module, we have described Track vertical alignment design and covers vertical gradient, crest curves, sag curves design along with design guidelines and design formulas. Thereafter, the module has described trackwork component such as Turnouts, Crossovers, Switches, Cross-Rails, Frogs, check-rails, and Pocket Tracks. In the fourth module, we have described LRT Track forms, stiffness of track, and track modulus. Thereafter, the modules have described various Track forms such as Ballasted Track, Direct Fix Track, Embedded Track, Floating Track and Tracks in the transition zone. The module has also covered various forms of Track Sleepers such as Timber Sleeper and Pre-cast concrete sleepers. The module described the formula to determine the spacing and factors of the sleepers that affect sleeper spacings. In the Fifth Module, we have described LRT Tram STOP design and its types like Island Platform and Side Platform. The Module then covers components of Tram Stop such as shelter, walkways, ramps, steps, signages, lighting, Passenger Information, etc. It has also covered the Platform surface finish and Tactile. In the Sixth Module, we have described the Tram signal system, signal equipment, traction power system, distribution system, substation system and catenary system. Within the Tram Signal System, we have covered the switch machine, impedance bonds, loops and transponders, wheel detectors, axle counters, etc.
