Version
3.0
Offered by
Supply Engineering
ECTS
5
Prerequisites
Qualifying exam for the Climate and Supply Engineering study program.
Main purpose
The purpose of the course is to provide students the understanding of basic concepts within road constructions, including pipe design and dimensioning. Furthermore, the students will receive introduction to CAD programs used for geometrical design of roads and other infrastructure planning.
Knowledge
After completion of the course, the student must have the knowledge of:
• Road types and planning
• Traditional asphalt types and use of these in road constructions
• Dimensioning of pipes for drinking water
• Pump types
• Pump dimensioning
• Stormwater handling
Skills
After completion of the course, the student must have the skills to:
• Perform analyses and road planning in rural areas
• Determine design parameters for a road project
• Propose relevant design of a cross section
• Describe elements within a cross section, including drainage principles for roads in rural areas
• Describe where pipes and cables are placed in a cross section
• Dimension road pavement structures based on the catalogue method
• Use MicroStation for geometrical design of a roads cross section
• Setup and prepare road drawings for print
• Dimension drinking water pipes
• Select and dimension pumps
• Determine network structure
• Setup drawings (plans and longitudinal profiles) including pipes
Competences
After completion of this course, the student must have the competences to:
• Determine a roads lay-out in regards to Danish Roads Standards and place pipes and cables in a road
• Dimension utility pipes based on demand
• Select pump type
• Dimension the selected pump
• Design optimal pipe network structure
Topics
