Roads, Railways and Airports/Water infrastructures

Roads, Railways and Airports - module This module aims to provide basic knowledge in the geometrical design and construction of transportation infrastructures such as roads, railways and airports. Particular attention will be given to functions of movement and access to land, to the safe interaction between moving entities and infrastructures and, more generally, to expected performance levels from the functional and structural point of view. The content and the methodology of the course are consistent with those used in similar courses in an international context. Water Infrastructures - module This module presents the design schemes of the main infrastructures aimed at the collection, transport, and distribution of water, and at the management of extreme hydrologic events, as stormwater and floods.

Water Infrastructures - module

Roads, Railways and Airports/Water infrastructures (Water infrastructures)

One of the main duty of civil engineers is to design and manage water. Water infrastructures are built for this purpose, and this module presents the corresponding design schemes for some widely adopted infrastructures. The focus is therefore on structures devoted to the collection, transport, and distribution of water, and at the management of extreme hydrologic events, as stormwater and floods.

Roads, Railways and Airports/Water infrastructures (Water infrastructures)

This course is devoted to analyzing water infrastructures. Three perspectives will be considered. The first perspective is a qualitative and broad understanding of the technological components that made up different type of water infrastructures. The second perspective is on the modelling tools to analyze the hydraulic behavior of water infrastructures. The third and last perspective is the design of simple water infrastructures. In particular, upon completion of this course, students will be able to: - Describe the components of water infrastructures and explain their hydraulic behavior; - Describe the physical principles and phenomena that affect the behavior of water infrastructures and explain their hydraulic/hydrological significance; - Select the most appropriate model to be used to analyze different types of water infrastructures; - Implement (with commercial software/spreadsheet) a model of water infrastructures, and interpret the obtained results; - Assess the data required to build a model of a water infrastructure; - Design (from an hydraulic point of view) components of a water infrastructure; - Develop a preliminary design of a water infrastructure, considering other factors external to hydraulics and hydrology such as the technical and economic feasibility.

Roads, Railways and Airports - module The final exam consists of a written and an oral examination. The written exam (about 60 minutes without consulting notes or books) is organized in the following two modules: 1. module with multiple choice questions 2. module with short exercises and open questions To be admitted to the oral exam, students must obtain at least 15/30 in the written exam and deliver a copy of the exercise report to teachers. The oral exam consists of: - a discussion of the written test; - revision of the exercises report; - a discussion about selected topics (at least one question) The final score is defined by combining the results of the written and oral tests. Water Infrastructures - module The exam is based on an oral or written test to verify the understanding of the concepts presented during the lectures. At the exam, the students must present a written essay on the exercises performed during the course, which will be discussed to verify the students’ ability to perform design calculations.

The written test will be composed of closed-answer tests and exercises to attest the ability of students to apply the concepts objective of the course. The oral exam will be dedicated to verify the knowledge acquired from theoretical lectures. The final grade will derive from the average between the written and the oral part. To pass the exam it is necessary to reach a sufficient grade for both the written and the oral part of the exam.

The exam consists of a written test. In the written test (duration 1.5 hours) student will be asked to (i) solve a practical problem concerning water infrastructures (50% of the mark); (ii) answer a theoretical question (50% of the mark). The practical problem aims at assessing student’s ability to model the behavior of components of water infrastructures; design components of a water infrastructure; and critically assess the data required to build a model of a water infrastructure. The theoretical question aims at assessing student’s ability to describe the components of water infrastructures and explain their hydraulic behavior; and describe the physical principles and phenomena that affect the behavior of water infrastructures and explain their hydraulic/hydrological significance. In order to pass the exam, both the theoretical question and the practical problem must be sufficient (score >18/30) to pass the exam. Final score: The final score will derive from the weighted mean with respect to the number of credits of the two modules (7 CFU for Roads, Railways and Airports and 5 CFU for Water Infrastructures )
