Level 02 - Auto CAD

AutoCAD Level-2 covers the detailed operation process of key drawing commands. It is expected that students commence this course after completing the Auto CAD Level-1 course. The course provides the operation process of various commands like trim, extend, array, hatch, etc. The first module provides an operation process of offset and mirror commands. The second module provides an operation process of trim and extends commands. It provides all the subcommands details to use these two commands. It also provides the operation process of chamfer and fillet commands. Chamfer and fillet command also comes with various subcommands and further inside is provided within the course module. The third Module provides the operation process of array commands. Array command comes with two subcommands knows as a rectangular array and polar array. Both are detailed out within the module. The fourth Module provides the operation process of ortho, polar, o-snap and hatch commands. O-snap and hatch commands come with various subcommands and detailed process to use these commands is provided. The fifth Module provides the operation process of the Layer manager. It covers all the sub-operation within the layer manager such as freeze, lock, off, colour, line-type, line thickness, new layer creation, etc.

Basics of Bridge Engineering

Bridge Engineering is the key discipline branching out from civil engineering and it involves the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of bridges to ensure safe and effective transportation of vehicles, people and goods. The course modules provide a high-level overview of Bridge engineering and cover details like Element of Bridges, Type of Bridges, Siting of Bridges, Analysis of Bridge Structure, Influence Line Diagram, Design of Deck Slab, Design of T Girder, etc. Module 1: Bridge Engineering and Design The first module starts with Siting Criteria of the bridge of details out various reasons to select a particular location as a preferred site for bridge against many other locations. It shows a flow chart to filter out the less feasible locations and drill down to the preferred site location. The module also covers details of various types of bridges and key reasons to select one type of bridge over the others. Module 2: Bridge Elements The second module details the elements of the Bridges. The Element of Bridges is an exhaustive list, so Superstructure, Expansion Joints, Bearings are covered in the second module and the remaining elements are covered next module. Module 3: Bridge Elements The third module covers the remaining elements of the Bridges. Sub-structure, Foundation and secondary elements are covered in this module. Module 4: Steps of Bridge Design The fourth module covers Hydraulics analysis of river flow is discussed to calculate the maximum discharge of river flow. Thereafter, the loading of parameters of the bridge deck and girders are discussed. The module also covers the Finite Element Analysis. The objective of Finite Element Analysis is to find a localized failure, in the bridge due to a vehicular impact and how detailed modelling can help to determine all possible failures.

Fundamentals of Road Lighting Design

Road Lighting Engineering involves the design, construction, operation & maintenance of Road Light and associated infrastructure to ensure adequate and uniform lighting levels are provided for drivers and pedestrians safety. Road lighting design supports lighting engineers to develop a lighting model to remove dark spots, provide a clear view of the road and associated infrastructure to provide a desirable minimum illumination for all road users. The first module covers key industry of road lighting engineering, basic principles of road lighting design, site assessment criteria before initiating lighting design and lighting terminologies. Within lighting terminologies, we have covered set back distance, arm Length, mounting height, straight vertical distance, candela (cd), footcandle (fc), Illuminance (E), luminance (L), lux (lx), the lumen (lm). The second module covers the basics of lighting design, luminaire selection, road lighting mounting options. The primary methods of lighting design are luminance method and Illuminance method. The module also recommends the illuminance level, for various road types, junction types, mid-block crossings, etc. The module also covers the concept BUG Rating System that provides a numerical rating of the luminaire light distribution as it applies to the lighting trespass up light and glare. The third module covers lighting column protection measures. passively safe lighting columns, road lighting cable network, smart lighting systems and road lighting maintenance regime. When lighting columns are placed very close to the road edge or at a vulnerable location, it is highly possible to be crashed by an errant vehicle? There are two possible ways to protect it, by placing road restraint system or by using passively safe lighting columns. The module has described both measures in detail. The module also describes the smart road lighting system such as LoRaWAN. The fourth volume covers the features of LED Lighting, advantages of LED lighting, implementation of LED lighting and LED adoption challenges. LED lights are diodes that emit high-quality light with high lumen efficacy and high lumen outputs. The module has described LED lighting and all associated features in detail. The fifth module covers standard details of lighting columns, LED lanterns, feeder pillars and chambers. We have also provided a bonus section where we have shared 20 interview questions & tips for fresh civil engineer jobs. It will help newbie civil engineers to better prepare for job interviews.

Dutch Style Roundabout design

Dutch Style Roundabouts are one of the most innovative roundabouts that provide priority to pedestrians and cyclists without significantly compromising vehicular traffic movement. Our Dutch Style Roundabout course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of the design process. It covers the centreline design of all four arms, crown line of Roundabout, and then gradually develops road channels, cycle tracks, footway, crossing facilities, etc. The first module starts with verification of the Topographical Survey. Here, the module explains how to verify the topo survey and make it fit to use as Xref for roundabout design. The module also explains how to change the colors of individual layers to make Xref less prominent. The second module explains the design process of Roundabout crown line, road centrelines, channel line design, entry radius design, exit radius design, splitter island design. The proposed layout set the foundation of the roundabout footprint so that footway and cycle facilities are provided safely. The third module explains the design process of cycle facility design. A circulatory uni-directional cycle track is designed. Inbound and outbound cycle tracks are designed and connected to the circulatory. The fourth module explains the process of footway design and crossing facilities. The back edge of the footways plays an important role in tie-into the existing. Segregated pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities are proposed. It is highly recommended to provide a pedestrian crossing facility suitable for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, therefore tactile are proposed at all crossing points. The fifth module explains the process of creating a General Arrangement Drawing. The module details out how to call all required Xrefs and how to use sheet layout, title frame, etc to develop General Arrangement Drawings. Finally, the module explains how to create a PDF of the General Arrangement drawing.
