Civil Infrastructure Engineering

• Describe and analyze a project organization for an infrastructure project.
• Identify and locate traffic problems
• Develop and assess the implications of solutions to traffic problems.
• Design roads in urban areas.
• Plan and design distinct systems for water supply.
• Plan and design distinct facilities for drainage, including renovation of drainage systems.
• Know and apply the basic theory of forces and pressures in stagnant water and for pipe and channel flow
• Analyze geological conditions, perform basic geotechnical calculations and plan and interpret typical geotechnical studies.
• Design minor civil structures such as retaining walls.
• Develop schedule and economic estimate for the design and construction
• Communicate and argue for the assignment in writing and orally, with focus on digital tools such as GIS, Geographic Information Systems.
• Explain team cooperation and development, and reflect on the use of personal and interpersonal skills.

The course is organized based on the FRI and Danish Association of Architectural Firms’ Description of Services for Civil Works and Planning.
