Introduction

• Demonstration of software + sample outputs.

Preliminaries

• Review of Digital Terrain Models.
• Land Desktop commands for Horizontal Curves + Spirals.
• Defining and editing Horizontal Alignments.

Basic Road Design

• Creating Typical Section templates for Rural Roads / Urban Roads / Kerb Returns etc.
• Designing and editing the Vertical alignment + setting Parameters for cut and fill batters Subsoil Stripping etc.
• Volume Calculations / Reports for Cross sections, Vertical Curves, Strings etc.

Plotting /SetOut (no DXF!)

• Plotting cross sections / Long Sections - Plotting Contours / String-lines on Plan View.
• Labelling Strings with Chainages / Level / Point number at various spacings (fractional, equal, chainage)
• Generating set-out tables and COGO points based on Chainage & Offset / Radial and Point Co-ordinate methods.
• As part of the standard course, we alter the basic road design at this stage to illustrate how easy it is to regenerate all section and plan views.

Complex Road Design

• Designing Kerb returns and Cul-de-Sacs.
• Using the interactive tools to generate contours dynamically while editing the vertical grading on Kerb Returns / Cul-de-Sacs.
• Using Multi String Design for Bus Bay Widening and Road Reconstruction.
• Advanced Road Design also has specific Roundabout Design Tools, which are covered in a specific Complex Road Design course. This also goes into more detail on re-construction (Design Constraints, matching levels by grade/offset etc).

DRAINAGE (Based on Australian Rainfall & Runoff (AR&R))

• Setting the drainage parameters – rainfall and runoff / intensities, libraries of Pipes + Pits and adding new elements if necessary.
• Defining Catchments and Catchment Types. Defining the drainage Network and connecting the pits to the catchment areas.
• Specifying the Downstream pit and calculating the levels and diameters for the Pipe network.
• Editing parameters and levels in the grading design window.
• Plotting the finished design in Long Section and Plan as well as the HGL calculations.
