20810170-1 - MARITIME TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURES-A

The problem of intermediate reloading between shipping and terrestrial transport is typically affected by many constraints given by many factors among them the limited spaces of the seaports certainly prevailing. Horizontal and vertical alignment (slopes, curves, clothoids) as well manoeuvres or design speeds must take into account any constraints in a not ordinary framework.
The overall objective is here to give to the students all the information and technical tools to design and manage the transportation infrastructure at the terrestrial-maritime interface.
Design and construction as well as maintenance of parking lots, roads, motorways, rail stations and railways at the land/sea interface are discussed, in particular focusing on geometry standards, safety and efficiency of transport. Moreover the main concepts of selection criteria and acceptance standards for construction and building materials are explained under a perspective of sustainability.
The main concepts of construction management and building sites or work zones safety and efficiency are also accurately presented, mainly considering the aspects related to the environmental impacts during construction.
