Module 1
Classification, alignment and surveys -classification of highways – historical development of road construction, typical cross section of roads in urban and rural areas – definitions of various cross sectional elements – requirements and factors controlling alignment of roads, engineering surveys for highway location.
Geometric design of highways: pavement surface characteristics, camber and width requirements, sight distances – over taking zone requirements and related problems. Design of horizontal alignment – speed – radius – super elevation – extra widening – transition curves, methods of attainment of super elevation – related problems.Design of vertical alignment – gradient and grade compensation – sight distance requirements on summit and valley curves -simple problems on design of vertical alignment.

Module 3
Highway materials: Road aggregates – their desirable properties and tests.
Bituminous materials – properties and tests – sub grade soil – desirable properties.
Highway construction and maintenance: Bituminous surface dressing and pavement construction – cement concrete construction and joints in concrete pavements – types and causes of failures in flexible and rigid pavements, highway drainage.
Pavement design: Basic difference between flexible and rigid pavements -factors affecting their design – designof flexible pavements-CBR, GI & IRC methods.

Module 4
Aircraft characteristics- regional planning, selection of site for airport – factors to be considered. Imaginary surfaces – approach zone and turning zone, obstructions and zoning laws. Runway orientation and layout of runways: use of wind rose diagrams, basic runway length and corrections required. Methods of classification of airports. Stopway, clearway and taxiway design requirements.

Module 5
Aprons: loading aprons – factors controlling size and number of gate positions – aircraft parking systems – holding apron. Facilities required in the terminal building – facilities for movement of baggage and passengers. Use of blast fences, typical airport layout – airport markings – marking of runways, taxiways etc. Airport lighting: lighting of runways approaches, taxiways and aprons. Air traffic control -airways, navigational aids and landing aids.
