Highway Geometric and Structural Design

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to introduce the student to the main elements and the geometric design of highways with their different types such as freeways multilane and local roads and how to design each of these types. It also introduces the material characteristics of highways construction including asphalt layers as well as the pavement design. Finally this course introduces the main elements of airports airside with the design criteria.
  • Course Goals
  • Sustainable Cities and Communities
