Tekla Structure Design

Tekla Structure is the most advanced structural BIM software that assists designers to create, combine, manage and share multi-material 3D models packed with invaluable construction information. Right now in the BIM (Building Information Modelling) environment, Tekla Structures is one of the best and powerful software for any kind of structure design. We cover the entire Tekla Structure Design Course in the following modules: The first covers Introduction to Tekla, advantages, and interface of Tekla operations. The second module covers the modelling tools used in Tekla Structures software. The third module covers the modelling of an industrial shed and its elements like columns, rafters and purlins. The fourth module covers the modelling of the industrial shed and its elements like bracing and side runners. The fifth module covers drawing production and explains the process of generating General Arrangement Drawings. The sixth module covers moment connections. The seventh module covers shear connections. The eighth module covers the creation of template connections and the modelling of typical connections. The ninth module covers numbering checks, modelling checks and clash checks. The tenth module covers the preparation of fabrication drawings.

Highway Drawings with CAD

“Highway Drawings with CAD” course covers details process of drawing creation considering highways features as the prerequisite. Preparation of highway drawings, needs to use various xrefs such as highway xref, road marking xref, pavement xrefs, etc. The course provides a comprehensive process to create highway drawing from scratch to printing final PDFs. The first module provides the operation process of the X-ref manager. It provides all the details of subcommands within xref window and how to operate it. It also demonstrates the process to create an xref and how to attach it with other drawings. The second module provides an operation process of drawings sheet production. It covers the process to set the drawing layouts with xrefs and then provides the details of sheet layout setting along with printer setting. Lastly, it covers the printing PDF process to generate hard copy drawings. The third module runs a pilot to generate pavement drawings. it covers step by step process to create pavement xref, layer creation of each pavement types, sheet layout setting, title frame setting, legend, notes, scale setting and finally printing drawings as PDF process.

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.

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.

Traffic Engineering

Traffic Engineering uses the latest techniques to provide safe and efficient movement of traffic along the Road links and junctions. The Course Module shares key aspects of the Traffic Engineering Discipline and Traffic Engineering Analysis, and Design Process. The course also covers Car Park Design, Road Safety Audits, Road Marking and Sign Design and Urban Street Design. Please see the Promotional Course Videos for a quick flavour. The course will fast-track your career as a Traffic Engineer. The first module “Traffic Studies” covers the traffic analysis process which is required for Pre-Bid Advisory Projects or DPR Projects and covers traffic volume analysis, origin and destination survey, modal distribution, junction turning movement survey, traffic forecasting and revenue estimation. The second module covers Car Park Study and Design Process. It covers key stages such as Parking & Traffic Survey, Parking Demand, Conceptual Parking Layout. It covers all four stages of Parking and Traffic Surveys. The module also provides a detailed process of car park design process for a new greenfield project. The third module covers the Road Safety Audit (RSA) and the key stages of RSA.
