Introduction, Different Modes of Transportation, M R Jayakar Committee recommendations, Road Classifications and Road Patterns.
Highway Alignment: Factors affecting highway alignment, Engineering surveys for alignmentconventional and modern methods. Highway Geometric Design: Factors affecting geometric design of roads, Cross Sectional Elements, Sight distances, Horizontal alignment- Transition curve, superelevation, Extrawidening, Vertical alignment–gradients, summit and valley curves
HIGHWAY MATERIALS AND PAVEMENTS: Desirable properties of aggregates, soil subgrade & Bitumen, Application of bituminous emulsion, Desirable properties of Bituminous Mixes Pavement Design: Factors Controlling design of highway pavements, Pavement types, component parts of pavements and their functions; types of joints used in rigid pavement. Critical stresses in flexible and rigid pavement.
Highway Drainage: Significance and requirements, Surface drainage system and design-Examples, sub surface drainage system, Types of cross drainage structures their choice and location.
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING: Objectives and scope of Traffic Engineering. Traffic Characteristics: Road user characteristics, vehicular characteristics – static and dynamic characteristics, Reaction time of driver and PIEV theory, Types of traffic engineering studies-volume, spot speed, speed and delay, parking, accident, origin & destination, objectives of studies and data collection, method of study, analysis. PCU concept, factors affecting and PCU at different locations and applications. Traffic signs, Signal design by IRC method; Types of intersections.
RAILWAY ENGINEERING: Permanent way and its requirements, Gauges and types, Typical cross sections single and double-line BG track, Coning of wheels and tilting of rails, Rails-Functionsrequirements, types and defects of rails. Sleepers and Ballast: Functions, requirements, Track fitting and fasteners, Calculation of quantity of materials required for laying a track, Points & crossings, Railway Station and Yards. Metro train & high speed train- Design factors considered.
AIRPORT ENGINEERING: Layout of an airport with component parts and functions, Site selection for airport, Aircraft characteristics affecting the design and planning of airport, Airport classification, Runway orientation using wind rose with examples. RUNWAY-Basic runway length-Corrections and examples, Runway geometrics, Taxiway-Factors affecting the layout – geometrics of taxiway-Comparison between Runway and Highway, Design of exit taxiway with examples.
