Design of Special Transportation Structures Considering both Economic and Engineering Aspects, Optimization, Application of New Technologies
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Chosing the system, modeling and optimization of structural parts of the projects like any other industrial, commercial or office works;
  • Presenting achieved model and preparing a structural design and calculation progress in a simple format;
  • Presenting interactions between structures and effecting parameters like loading cases, solicitations dynamic effects as well as soil – foundation influences;
  • To check and verify the stability of the structures and its conceivable parts as well the resistance of structural elements;
  • To plan the financial success of the project during performance
  • To manage costs, work and resources used in the project.
Course Content Transportation systems, geometric design of transportation facilities based on operational capacity, site constraints, and safety considerations, pavement design and rehabilitation, terminals as components of transportation systems engineering, operations planning and construction of transportation systems.
