8. A Training Course Manual on Trail Bridges for Practitioner Engineers Download  |
|
|
| This Course manual is tailored to engineers and covers the entire bridge building cycle, i.e. from planning, implementation through to the post construction phase. The Manual covers survey, design, construction, quality control as well as monitoring & inspection of both SSTB and LSTB type of bridges and deals with the practical as well as the theoretical aspects of bridges. These curricula were developed jointly by Institute of Engineering, DoLI and TBSU/HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation. This manual is tailored towards practitioners from Federal, Provincial and Palika levels as well as from the Private Sector. It thus also contains planning, monitoring, as well as project management tools for the construction of new bridges as well as the (major) maintenance and rehabilitation of existing ones. |
These Course manuals are tailored towards sub-engineers and were developed jointly by Institute of Engineering, DoLI and TBSU/HELVETAS. The Manuals contain theoretical and practical aspects on survey, design, construction and quality control of SSTB- and only partially of LSTB bridges This manual is tailored towards practitioners from Federal, Provincial, Palika, NGOs and the private sector. This Manual also covers planning, monitoring, project management and quality control. |
These Course manuals are tailored towards assistant-sub-engineers and were developed jointly by Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), DoLI and TBSU/HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation. The course includes survey, design and execution of SSTB “D” type bridges. This manual forms the basis for practitioners from Federal, Provincial, Palika, NGOs and the private sector. This Manual also includes social organizational support and bridge maintenance. |

14. Demonstration Model Bridge Training Manual Download  |
|
|
|
This Manual is designated for training bridge-crafts-persons, often illiterate, from the community, i.e. for training at grass root level. The course includes preparation of construction materials such as stone dressing; preparation of aggregates etc. and construction works such as concreting and masonry works and bridge erection. The training is conducted through practical works by building a demonstration model bridge, hence the popular name “Demonstration Model Bridge Training (DMBT)”. The training is based on demonstration and learning by doing technique. |
This Routine Maintenance Manual has been prepared with the view of imparting knowledge and know-how to Bridge Wardens, Bridge Inspectors, Bridge Maintenance Committees, Technicians of Palikas and local communities on how to maintain trail bridges so as to increase their longevity. Picture illustrations have been used extensively along with brief summaries to make it reader friendly. |
This Manual on Comprehensive Monitoring comprises of all safety and quality control aspects for both new as well as existing bridges; the detailed roles of Palikas, LBS/DoLI; and the use of Private Sector for Monitoring and Inspection. The Manual covers Planning of bridges collectively and the Implementation of individual bridges. The Manual is based on the premise that the Palika/Province will monitor / inspects a random sample of bridges. The Manual has been disseminated through the IoE to prospective private sector Monitors / Inspectors. This Manual has been drafted in consultation with the National Vigilance Center. |
