Details of Learning Activities
• Teacher-led face to face lectures of the concepts of urban road design and drawing layouts for road networks based on industry standards including:
• Using site and contour plans
• Plotting of road alignments, longitudinal and cross sections.
• Explanation of symbols and terms
• Appropriate scales and drawing layout.
• In a computer lab using Computer Aided Drafting software and using appropriate standard symbols and terminology to AS 1100 prepare drawings of a road alignment including:
• Site and Contours plans
• Proposed plan location and alignment of road.
• Intersection details
• Location of road furniture and associated details.
• Prepare a drawing(s) of the longitudinal section and cross sections of the road using appropriate symbols and terminology to AS 1100.
• Prepare drawings of typical road details of kerbing, drive-ways, drains and culverts etc. to AS 1100.
