Roads Railways Airports is a course of the Degree in Civil Engineering. This degree aims at providing tools for the design, construction, maintenance and management of civil structures and infrastructures, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, transport systems, hydraulic works and land protection.
The course is aimed at providing students with the basic theories for the physical and functional characterization of different transport infrastructures such as roads, railways and airports. Social, urbanistic and environmental issues are discussed as well as an in-depth analysis of the Italian road design regulation.
At the end of the course the students will be able to: 1) handle the several characteristics and design principles of the different transport infrastructures; 2) analyze the Italian road design rule; 3) identify the best technical and economical solution for designing a transport infrastructure.
