Introduction:
This web page document planning
and
preliminary design of a local road from a exissting country road to a
new development. In this project we had to created a new road and
learnd how to design a cross section in excel, auto cab, also learns
about cost and parking lot issues.
It is required to developed a
road connecting the existing Canyan Road to anew development at (E,
4,075,500; N, 4,137,000). Designing an alternative road and calculations
Information
Gathering: The study of the
topographical map of the area and know the locations ground slopes of
natural features such as streams, trees, ground slopes and creating the
design process..
Data Collected:
Alternatives
Considered: Only one
alternative is considered the slopes were less than 10% and the lenght
was around 6000 ft.
Analysis
of Alternative 2: Exel
part Calculate area of cut and areas fill in sq.ft for each cross
section.
The longitudinal profile data
Excel Cross sections
Volume
Calculation: show volume
Calculations(spread sheet) with costs, sample
cross sections (minimum 4- note you need not show all cross section)
ect. Some discussion of advantages and disaadvantages(ie cost, lenght,
slopes, other consideration such as enviromental, health and
safety------)
