Course detail
Road Design
FAST-CM01Acad. year: 2009/2010
Preliminary design and final design of grade separated interchange. Horizontal and vertical geometry (situation, longitudinal profiles), typical sections (category width, superelevation, road widening in curves), earth construction (typical cross section and detailed operative cross sections). Creation of 3D model and contours project. Simplified visualization. Drainage of roads (hydro technical computation). Earthwork, calculation of its volume, soil transport. Constructions on roads. Traffic safety. Computations according to standards: Range of vision for safety stop, range of vision in curves, extra lane for slow vehicles.
