Aim
The aim is to give a deeper knowledge in designing and building a bridge- and road projectLearning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Explain the role of project design in the building process and give examples of different kinds of stakeholders.- Describe the structure of the consulting industry.
- Describe a project design process, phases and organisation.
- Exemplify current regulations and guidelines.
- Describe and use available maps and drawings as a base for the project
- Apply current project design methodology
- Explain the different steps in detailed road project with bridge
- Use a common road and bridge design computer program
- Identify obstacles and problems and choose a suitable road alignment including the bridge
- Design a stretch of a road with a bridge
- Produce drawings for the horizontal and vertical alignment and for cross sections
- Cost estimation
- Propose, present and evaluate a design of a road with bridge regarding traffic, geotechnical and environmental conditions.
Content
Basic project design management & terminology, standards forms for organisation of the design work. Roles and functions in a in a team; project team leader, responsible officer, different responsibility functions. Basic orientation about the significance of the design phase in relation to the different phases of the construction project.Geometric and constructive design of a road project with bridge. For the geometric design theoretical lectures and a common road and bridge design computer program will be used. A cost estimate of the project will be done.
Organisation
The project work will be performed in groups of two students (occasionally one ore three). Lectures will introduce the different steps but the project work will mainly be done in computer or lecture rooms with necessary supervision.Literature
Notes, distributed material and technical manuals from the Swedish Transport Administration.Examination including compulsory elements
No written or oral exam.The group work will be marked with pass or fail.
For a pass grade all the given assignments should be passed.
Only the grade pass will be used.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
