Conservação de Infraestruturas de Transporte
Descrição
Objectives
Global approach to quality characterization of existing transport infrastructures (roads, airfields and railways), namely respecting the pavements (load bearing structures), materials, construction equipments, construction and rehabilitation processes and technology all related with maintenance of those pavements.
Syllabus
1 - Syllabus. 2 - Structural design of construction and rehabilitation of road and airport pavements. 3 – Road and airport pavements construction and maintenance: intervention types; materials, construction equipments, construction and rehabilitation processes and technology. 4 – Quality characterization for road and railways infrastructures. 5 – Maintenance management principles for road, airport (air side) and railways infrastructures.
Cross Competence Component
The CU allows the development of transversal competences on Critical Thinking, namely strategic thinking and problem solving approaches, within the assignments, flash and paper presentations, and miniproject; Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Skills (oral, organizational and teamwork, self-discipline, perseverance, self-motivation skills - within the assignments, flash and paper presentations, and miniproject); and Information and Media Literacy (ability to locate and access information, as well as to analyze and evaluate media content - within the assignments, flash and paper presentations, and miniproject). The evaluation of the former soft skills components should approximately correspond to 20% of the final grades.
Laboratorial Component
Monitoring and conducting quality control tests and performance assessment for materials used in road and airfield pavements.
Programming And Computing Component
Use of software for structural pavement analysis.
Ethical Principles
All members of a group are responsible for the group's work. In any assessment, every students shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used. In an oral assessment, every students shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
