Infrastructures for Transport

This programme provides more thorough knowledge in the fields dealing with railways, roads and bridges. It targets university graduates who wish to develop superior professional skills in order to be able to enroll in specific activities generated by the broad programs concerning: transport system design, development of transport networks with highways and express roads, rehabilitation of modernized roads and railways, rehabilitation of bridges on the transportation network, design of airports, optimization of maintenance on the transport infrastructure.

The structure of the Master takes into account the specificity of the transport infrastructures with respect to:
- performing thorough site investigations to determine adequate solutions for founding engineering structures, ensuring the foundation soil stability, choosing the optimal alignments, etc.;
- dimensioning the resistance structures under specific stress (dynamic and recurrent), inducing fatigue;
- assessing the overall costs (building, maintenance, operation) and efficiency of the investment;
- the impact of the construction upon the environment.
To graduate students must defend a dissertation thesis dealing with a complex theoretical, practical, design or research study.
