Rationale:
Construction of roads is one of the area in which diploma holders in Civil Engineering get employment. These diploma holders are responsible for construction and maintenance of highways. Basic concepts of road geo-metrics, surveys and plans, elements of traffic engineering, road materials, construction of rigid and flexible pavements, special features of hill roads, road drainage system and various aspects of maintenance find place in above course.
In addition, this subject will cater to the needs of those technicians who would like to find employment in the construction of railway tracks, bridges. The subject aims at providing broad based knowledge regarding various components and construction of railway track, bridges.
Objectives:
On completion of the course, the student will be familiar with:
- To study about the importance of the roads , Development of roads, Classification of roads
- To know about highway pavements , Geometrical design , Traffic controls , Road Arboriculture and Highway Lighting
- To study about highway alignment , Road machineries and Construction of different types of Roads
- To study about Railway fixtures , Types of stations , Signalling and Control of movement of trains
- To study about Maintenance of Track and Rapid Transport System of Railways
- To Know about Bridges , Classifications and its Components
