OverlayMillLevelCrown

This subassembly adds an overlay layer to an existing crowned roadway, with either a leveling and milling layer added as required.

Attachment

The attachment point is the crown point of the overlay layer with finished ground cross slope.

Input Parameters

Parameter Description Type Default

    Specifies that the design lane width is the same as existing lane width.

  • No

    Specifies that the design lane width is not the same as existing lane width.

    Note: If No is selected, the Inside Edge of Existing Lane and Outside Edge of Existing Lane parameters will not be applied to the subassembly.
User defined No
Inside Edge of Existing Left Lane This is the start point for calculating existing ground slope for the left lane. Numeric 0.000m
Inside Edge of Existing Right Lane This is the start point for calculating existing ground slope for the right lane. Numeric 0.000m
Outside Edge of Existing Left Lane This is the end point for calculating existing ground slope for the left lane. Numeric 12.000m
Outside Edge of Existing Right Lane This is the end point for calculating existing ground slope for the right lane. Numeric -12.000m
Use Profile Options Select to tie the inside edge of an overlay to a profile, or adjust elevation to minimum level depth. User defined Minimum Level Depth
Overlay Depth Depth of the overlay layer. Numeric, positive 0.300m
Right and Left Overlay Slope Options Specifies right and left overlay slope options.
Tip: Flapping is a term used to describe how the corrected cross slope for an overlay in a rehab subassembly is calculated. Flapping outcomes are different, relative to the slope tolerance and the slope difference between existing ground cross slope and ideal cross slope. If the slope difference is less than the slope tolerance for the subassembly, then the use case is considered "within tolerance". If the slope difference is greater than the slope tolerance for the subassembly, then the use case is considered "outside of tolerance."
Note: Slope tolerance is an absolute value. Therefore, for either a slope difference of 0.4% or -0.4%, both have an absolute value of 0.4%. If the slope tolerance is 0.5%, the 0.4% absolute slope difference would be considered within tolerance.
  • User Defined With Flapping
    Flapping specifies how the corrected cross slope will be calculated, relative to the slope tolerance for the subassembly.
    • Flapping Within Tolerance:

      The corrected cross slope will be the existing ground cross slope.

    • Flapping Outside of Tolerance:
      The corrected cross slope will vary and will be the existing ground cross slope plus or minus the slope tolerance value.
      Note: Whether the slope tolerance is added or subtracted depends on which one will bring the values of the existing ground cross slope and the ideal cross slope closer together.
  • User Defined Without Flapping
    Flapping specifies how the corrected cross slope will be calculated, relative to slope tolerance for the subassembly.
    • Flapping Within Tolerance:

      The corrected cross slope will be set equal to the ideal cross slope.

    • Flapping Outside of Tolerance:
      The corrected cross slope will be the ideal cross slope plus or minus the slope tolerance value.
      Note: Whether the slope tolerance is added or subtracted depends on which one will bring the values of the existing ground cross slope and the ideal cross slope closer together.
  • Outside/Inside Lane Superelevation
    Outside or Inside Lane Superelevation will replace Ideal Cross Slope. The corrected cross slope values for the overlay layer will be defined by the superelevation table for the section instead of the ideal cross slope.
    Note: If Outside/Inside Lane Superelevation is chosen but the alignment for the rehab corridor does not have a superelevation table defined, Ideal Cross Slope will be used instead.
    • Within Tolerance:
      • If a superelevation table is defined for the alignment: The corrected cross slope will be the lane superelevation value obtained from the superelevation table.
      • If a superelevation table is not specified for the alignment: The corrected cross slope will be the specified ideal slope.
        Note: This behavior is the same as for the User Defined without Flapping option.
    • Outside of Tolerance:
      • If a superelevation table is defined for the alignment: The corrected cross slope will be the lane superelevation value obtained from the superelevation table plus or minus the slope tolerance value.
      • If a superelevation table is not specified for the alignment: The corrected cross slope will be the specified ideal slope plus or minus the slope tolerance value.
        Note: This behavior is the same as for the User Defined without Flapping option.
  • Match Slope

    The corrected cross slope is always set equal to Existing Ground Slope.

  • Use Ideal Cross Slope

    The corrected cross slope is always set equal to Ideal Cross Slope.
