Course Overview
Course Description
This comprehensive 5-day course covers all aspects of road design and engineering. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of geometric design principles, traffic analysis techniques, pavement design methods, and project management skills. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and hands-on exercises, attendees will develop practical skills applicable to real-world road projects.
Learning Objectives
- Apply geometric design principles to create safe and efficient road alignments
- Conduct traffic analysis and capacity calculations for various road types
- Design flexible and rigid pavements using industry-standard methods
- Implement effective project management techniques for road construction
- Integrate environmental considerations and sustainability into road design
