About the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory:
The transport and communications sector is considered one of the very emerging sectors of the national economy because it provides secure movement of passengers and goods on both the local and international levels, and the pioneering role it plays in driving the economy
and providing services to other productive and service sectors. The Transportation Engineering Laboratory has a major role to play in opening up...
Field of civil engineering. Road science studies the foundations, principles, and steps that engineers follow to plan, design, and construct roads and determine the necessary requirements for them. A laboratory manual has been developed to give students an idea of some
of the transportation engineering problems that they are likely to encounter in practice. This is amazing
The problems include issues in traffic engineering, and the engineering design of highways and sidewalks.
Some of the experiments in this guide require field data collection. But when collecting this data, personal safety should be the first priority.
Some other experiments are based on using software used in the field of road and transportation engineering, such as SURFER, ROCKWORKS, HCS2000, and DNPS86.
List of experiments: 1. Server program: A program for defining lines and mapping 3D surfaces
2. Topographic profile practice
3. Geological cutting
4. Rockworks: stratigraphy and geological correlation
5. Statistics in traffic engineering
6. Study of compliance with traffic control devices
7. Saturation flow rate and startup time
8. Signal timing design
9. Design and analysis of basic highway sectors
10. DNPS86 AASHTO Program for Design of New Pavement Structures
