Rationale :
Transportation is vital for industrial and agricultural
development of any region. Socio-economic progress is intimately linked with an
efficient system of transportation of goods and people from one region to
another. Transportation is, also, essential for strategic movements in case of
defence emergencies. Hence construction of roads, rails & bridges form a
very important job function of a civil engineering technician.
Objective:
The students will be able to :
-
Define different terms in
Highway, Railway & Bridge Engineering.
-
Know about highways
classification
-
Know about the factors covering
location of highways and their alignment.
-
Know Sign and Signals, Traffic
island, Highway Illumination, Traffic Planning and administration, No. of
traffic lanes, Camber, Gradient, super elevation.
-
Understand about Highway
materials, Road constructions, Road drainage, Road Environment, Road
maintenance.
-
Know about Rails, Sleepers,
Point and Crossing, Track construction, Stations and yards, Signalling and
interlooking, Track maintenance.
-
Know the classification of
Bridges causeways and culverts, Afflux, Scour and crossings and their
differences.
-
Know how to align Piers,
Abutment, wing walls and Approaches, Bridge Construction & Maintenance.
