Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical classes have an expository, critical analysis and discussion component associated with learning applicable solutions
and technologies and problem-solving methodologies. It is an environment for interaction with students but conducted guided. Group
learning takes place through specific project problem solving, with some complexity, which simulates professional practice and gives rise to
a written document submitted by the students for evaluation. In laboratory work, students conduct tests and prepare reports on the
procedures followed and the results achieved.
Learning Results
Master road and railway construction techniques: earthworks, road paving, railway infrastructure and superstructure and drainage.
Know how to prepare proposals for constructing and maintaining road pavements and road and railway drainage systems.
Know the constitution, general inspection, and rehabilitation techniques of railway tracks.
Design and analyse urban mobility planning proposals.
Program
EARTHWORKS: earthmoving (haul mass diagram); soil characterisation tests; geological and geotechnical studies; running and control of
earthworks; soil stabilisation; subgrade of roads and railways; applications of geosynthetics in transport infrastructures.
ROAD PAVING: Types of pavement; constitution of pavement layers; binders and aggregates for pavements; bituminous mixtures; design
of hot bituminous mixtures; manufacture and application of bituminous mixtures and concrete; simplified design of pavements; behaviour
and pathologies of flexible pavements; maintenance techniques for flexible pavement.
CONSTITUTION, INSPECTION AND REHABILITATION OF RAILWAY: Infrastructure and superstructure; rail track inspection and
rehabilitation.
DRAINAGE: surface and underground drainage; constitution of drainage systems and their hydraulic design.
ORGANIZATION OF URBAN MOBILITY: road hierarchy; traffic calming techniques; infrastructures for active mobility.
