- Solved examples
- And more
Requirements
- Civil Engineering courses for the first and second years
Description
Highway engineering is an engineering discipline branching from civil engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and effective transportation of people and goods.. The full course should provides a very good basis of Highway engineering. There will also be revisions and solved exams.
The full course will be composed of 2 parts; part 1 will have the theory and some examples while part 2 will have solved questions, sheet problems and exams. This first part will cover topics such as: design vehicle, soil classification for highway design, horizontal and vertical alignment, design of flexible and rigid pavements, asphalt mix design and more.
This course is typically taught at the third or fourth year for Civil Engineering students. It might also be needed for Architectural students. The course materials are mostly in simple English; however, for the Arabic transcript, I will provide translation to them. I am hoping that the participants of these courses will enjoy the material and will have great understanding of the Basics of Highways design and alignment. I am also planning to attach any supporting documents in a PDF format that will summarize the lecture videos and notes.
