Civil 3D Highway Design - Basics

Highway Design with Autodesk Civil 3D software is in demand globally and a good understanding of the Civil 3D software plus knowledge of design standards can surely help engineers to fast track their career as highway design engineers. Our Civil 3D course modules are designed to cover all key aspects of design right from getting started with opening window, familiarity with tools, dropdowns, etc to importing ground survey data, horizontal alignment design, vertical alignment design, assembly creation, corridor modelling, and generating final 3D model outputs. The first module starts with getting started with the Civil 3D start-up window, quick access toolbar, dropdown option settings, etc. The module then opens the Civil 3D metric template and explains all the ribbons such as ground data, design data, profiles, etc. Civil 3D is template-based software, therefore templates are created and saved in tool space pallets and course all the menu options of the pallet. The module also covers drawing setting, unit transformation, object layers, etc. The second module covers importing ground survey data into Civil3D. the module covers three types of data importing methods (topo survey, land XML, and lidar coordinates (x,y,z)). When importing a CAD file, first all layers are isolated and then imported to Civil3D. The module explains the land XML and lidar data transfer process in a detailed manner. After transferring data, the module demonstrates how to create the ground surface model. The third module demonstrates how to analyze the surface, refine the surface and remove the errors like null levels, zero levels, etc. Then it covers how to trim falls surface area that sits outside the project road boundary. The module demonstrates how to create different surface types using tool pallets e.g contours, ground surface, etc, and finally how to check the ground level, profile and sections dynamically. The fourth module commences with horizontal alignment design in Civil 3D and covers 4 types of horizontal alignment design i.e centreline alignment, offset alignment, curve return alignment and miscellaneous alignment. Create alignment from the layout or predefine polyline or import the alignment from other software or file. The module also covers the quick alignment design method and setting the line style, curve style, transition style, point style, etc. The fifth module covers alignment design with Element Method. The module demonstrates fixed tangent, floating curve with transition length, fixed curved with transition length, fillet curve and reverse curve design for various design speed criteria. The module demonstrates some tips to minimize abortive work (when the amendment is needed) when designing it with the element method. The sixth module explains the vertical design process of the proposed centreline. For that, first, we import the ground model land XML and then start the profile creation process. The module describes how to fix the setting of the profile creating window. The vertical profile can be created by the quick method and element method. Both methods are described methodically for easy understanding. The module also explains how to set the profile band to show chainage, ground levels, proposed road levels, superelevation, etc. The seventh module describes how to create an annotation for the profile drawing production and how to make them in a presentable format. It shows how to show curves and gradients details within the profile section and how to create bands at the lower section showing chainage, proposed levels, ground levels, superelevation, horizontal alignment details, vertical alignment details, etc. The module also covers how to change grid style, font style, line type, datum levels, etc The Eighth module describes the process of creating cross-sections on the 3D model. Here module starts with assembly creation and it demonstrates two types of assemblies, dual carriageway assembly (without central median) and dual carriageway assembly (with central median). It demonstrates how to create assemblies from tool pallets. The ninth module describes the process to review and analyzing the corridor. It explains how to visualize the corridor against cross-section assemblies, how to fix the errors in the corridor, and how to make it in a presentable format. The tenth module described how to create retaining walls profiles in place of the embankment and describes how to generate cross-sections from the design model.

Structural Drawings with CAD

Preparing structure drawing is one of the most tedious tasks, to say the least, and when the structure is highly complex with plenty of structure details, that adds further complexities for CAD Technicians and Engineers. That’s why we develop this course and address various stages and procedures to develop Structure drawings using AutoCAD. The first module covers Introduction to AutoCAD and its basic interface. The module also shares all the details of the menu, command windows, pop-down windows and other operational details. The second module covers the basic setting of AutoCAD, basic functions, and interfaces. The third module explains how to use various toolbars in AutoCAD. Some toolbars are very useful for structure drawing preparation. The fourth module explains how to develop an architecture plan and develop each component of the plan layout. The fifth module is the continuation of architecture plan development and structure details development. The sixth module explains how to place columns in the building plan layout and then how to develop column layouts and associated details in the drawing. The seventh module explains how to place beams within the building plan layout and how to develop beam layouts and associated details in the drawings. The eighth module explains how to develop the Slab Layout of the building plan layout. The ninth module covers the shuttering layout development. The module also covers the foundation layout development. The tenth module covers the reinforcement detailing the process of beams, columns and slabs.

MS Project - Basics

A Project is an undertaking, carried out individually or collectively as a team to achieve a goal. Every company or firm carry out projects activities every day either properly or casually. Every project requires detailed project planning in order to run the project more effectively and efficiently. Project planning provides organizations with a framework for scoping projects, sequencing activities, utilizing resources, and minimizing risks. This is a basic course covering key concepts of project planning using MS Project as a tool. A hands-on civil engineering project program is developed and step by step process is explained for the student to learn how to plan, analyse, and manage projects. Students will witness state-of-the-art methodologies to develop the project program. In the first module, students will learn about the following topics -Launching MS Project, start-up window, quick access toolbar, Ribbons and Menu, Options settings, etc. The second module provides a quick process to develop a civil engineering project with key design tasks. The course then explains the key parameters of a task and how one task is linked with another task. Please click to see the Preview of the Course. In the third module, students will learn task dependencies. How the function like start to start or start to finish etc works. The course also provides details of task constraint in civil engineering project environment and how to incorporate that in the project program. The fourth module provides a detailed process of sub-task development and how to link those sub-tasks within the main task. The course develops a situation where a sub-task comes with a constraint and explain the process to deal with the constraint without impacting the project duration. The project belongs to a civil engineering environment so it would be very useful for a student to correlate it with real-time project scenarios. The fifth module provides a detailed process of splitting a task. This is extremely critical for a task if it needs to be delivered in phases due to interlinking with other tasks. The course also provides a process of task formatting to make it unique against other tasks to easily identify it. The sixth module details out the meaning of free slack in the program and its advantage. The module explains the process of how to utilise free slack in a project program to effectively add any new task without affecting the overall duration of the project. The seventh module details the process of resource allocation. In this module, resources are assigned for a particular task of a civil engineering project and team members of different grades are assigned to carry out a task. The process will assist the student to understand how to assign a time frame to all team members to complete a task. The eighth module provides a detailed process of optimising resources. By doing this, key members of the team could be free up for carrying out another project. This would help the project team to efficiently utilize limited resources at any given time.
