Courses Overlay & Widening
Overlay & Widening
Duration: One Day
Summary
This course takes the user through a typical overlay and widening civil design project. The analysis is carried out using variable depths and crossfalls, design surface triangulation and depth isopach comparisons.
The project utilises a compilation of overlay and full road reconstruction and their associated subgrade design requirements
Prerequisites:
For experienced 12d Model users only. Completion of 2 day Civil Design course and Advanced Civil Design course is essential.
Course Content:
- Introduction to Overlay Concepts.
- setting up the data required
- getting familiar with Overlay Panel and terminology
- looking at outputs such as spreadsheets and plots
- Creating Design Surface
- by initial analysis of existing surface to locate areas of superelevation, good and substandard crossfalls
- refining design to optimise balance of materials used, scarification and design standards
- Generating Pavement Design
- by defining subgrade and intermediate pavement layers
- applying new techniques to locate critical
- points for the pavement construction
- Automating Re-work
