Route Surveying
Civil Engineering
Introduction to Route and Higher Surveying
Overview of route surveying, higher surveying, simple horizontal curves, and their importance in civil engineering.
Horizontal Curves
Detailed study of simple, compound, reversed, and spiral curves used in route surveying.
Complex Horizontal Curves
Design and analysis of complex horizontal curves for highways and railways.
Vertical Curves
Model parabolic vertical alignment, calculate elevations and grades, and select a project-compliant length for crest and sag curves.
Earthwork Profiling
Use route profiles and cross-sections to estimate cut and fill quantities, reconcile material volume bases, and plan earthwork balance and haul.
GPS, GIS, and Photogrammetry in Highway Design
Advanced applications of Global Positioning Systems, Geographic Information Systems, and Photogrammetry in the planning and design of highways.
Highway Design Fundamentals
Fundamental concepts of geometric highway design, integrating horizontal and vertical alignments with earthwork.
