Updating a corridor model due to settlement

  • 1.  Updating a corridor model due to settlement

    Posted 05-10-2019 03:01

    We have a project where we have already installed the northbound side of the highway. The issue is that it has settled. We therefore need to update our model to match the settled section for installation of the southbound lanes holding this new ep breakline and the slopes from the original model. 

     

    Here is how I think I should go about it. I was able to make adjustments in 20 minutes to 2700 ft of highway with multiple lanes. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Am I on the right track or is there a better way?

     

    Thanks!

    Your Node To Node for Offset is good but your Node to Node for Slope I think you want to pick two of the Design Nodes not the EP Node that you created - as that will give you the wrong slope

     

    Your Shortcuts I think can be restored using Manage Options - I am checking that

     

    You look like you are on the right track - you cannot offset a Surface using different delta elevations along the Alignment - that would be pretty hard to a) compute and b) control. I don't see anything specific that would make you faster or more efficient in your selected process - you are doing pretty much what I would do here so "Good Work Mate"

     

    Have a good day on site ....
