Università Roma Tre

Integrated Design For Road Infrastructures is a course of the Degree in Civil Engineering. This degree aims at providing tools for the design, construction, maintenance and management of civil structures and infrastructures, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, transport systems, hydraulic works and land protection.
The course is aimed at providing students with the rules for the design of a road, according several issues such as the respect of national technical laws, the study of the system of constraints, and the optimization of the design choices including the environmental point of view. Different levels of road design are illustrated and discussed, moreover a project of a rural road is developed during the course also using a roadway design software.
At the end of the course the students will be able to: 1) use the software and applications to design and to draw a road project; 2) solve the problems of choices optimization in different design phases; 3) quantify the parametric costs for road constructions; 4) discuss to a road project showing the best technical and economical solution.
