OverlayMillLevel1Lane1Side

This subassembly adds an overlay layer to one side of an existing carriageway, with either a milling or levelling layer added as required.

Attachment

The attachment point is the inside edge point of the overlay layer with finished gradient crossfall.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form unless indicated as a percent slope with a "%" sign.

Parameter Description Type Default
Side Specifies which side of the road centreline to place the rehab subassembly User defined Left
Design Lane Width same as Existing Lane Width
  • Yes

    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 Lane This is the start point for calculating existing ground slope Numeric 0.000m
Outside Edge of Existing lane This is the start point for calculating existing ground slope Numeric 0.000m
Overlay Depth Depth of the overlay layer Numeric, positive 0.300m
Overlay Slope Options Specifies overlay slope options.
Tip: Flapping is a term used to describe how the Corrected Crossfall 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 crossfall and ideal crossfall. 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 'without 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 Crossfall will be calculated, relative to the slope tolerance for the subassembly
    • Flapping Within Tolerance:

      Corrected Crossfall will be set equal to Ideal Crossfall

    • Flapping Without Tolerance:

      Corrected Crossfall will be adjusted to match Existing Ground Slope within Slope Tolerance

  • User Defined Without Flapping
    Flapping will not be used to specify how the Corrected Crossfall will be calculated, relative to Slope Tolerance for the subassembly
    • Slope Difference Within Tolerance:

      Corrected Crossfall will be adjusted to match Existing Ground Slope, within Slope Tolerance

    • Slope Difference Without Tolerance:

      Corrected Crossfall will be adjusted to match the Ideal Crossfall, within slope tolerance

  • Outside/Inside Lane Superelevation
    Outside or Inside Lane Superelevation will replace Ideal Crossfall. Corrected Crossfall values for the overlay layer will be defined by the superelevation table for the section instead of the Ideal Crossfall.
    Note: If Outside/Inside Lane Superelevation is chosen but the alignment for the rehab corridor doesn't have a superelevation table defined, Ideal Crossfall will be used instead.
  • Match Slope

    The Corrected Crossfall is always set equal to Existing Ground Slope

  • Use Ideal Crossfall

    The Corrected Crossfall Slope is always set equal to Ideal Crossfall

User defined User Defined without Flapping
Ideal Crossfall Specifies user defined ideal crossfall. Numeric -2.00%
Lane Width The lane width, determined by the offset of the outside edge of lane from the inside edge of lane. Numeric 12.000m
Use Profile Options Select to tie the inside edge of overlay to a profile, adjust level to minimum level depth lock to preceding subassembly.
  • Minimum Level Depth

    The crossfall and level adjustments will meet Minimum Level and/or Minimum Mill Depth. The base is the existing surface.

  • Use Profile

    There will be no level adjustment. The level of the rehab subassembly attachment point will match the assigned profile. The crossfall adjustment will be determined by Overlay Slope Options.

  • Lock to Preceding

    There will be no level adjustment. The level of the rehab subassembly attachment point will match the attachment point of the preceding subassembly (in most cases this will be the preceding lane's end point). The crossfall adjustment will be determined by Overlay Slope Options.

User defined Minimum Level Depth
Minimum Level Depth Minimum elevation depth between the existing surface and the bottom of the overlay layer. Numeric 0.600m
Minimum Mill Depth The minimum mill depth below the existing surface. Numeric 0.300m
Slope Tolerance Tolerance for varying the overlay slope. Numeric 0.50%

Output Parameters

Parameter Description Type Default
Corrected Crossfall This is the adjusted crossfall for the road, which has been optimised to match, as closely as possible, the rehab subassembly parameters you specified. Numeric, negative -2.00%
Existing Ground Slope The crossfall (%) of the existing ground profile, calculated from the inside edge of the lane to the outside edge of the lane. Numeric, negative n/a

Target Parameters

Parameter Description Required?
Target Surface Name of the surface defining the existing carriageway Yes
Crown Offset Target Name of the object defining the offset of the crown point. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures. No
Inside Edge of Lane Offset Target Name of the object defining the offset of the inside edge of lane. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures. No
Lane Width Target Name of the object defining the offset of the outside edge of lane. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures. No
Inside Edge of Existing Lane Offset Target Name of the object defining the inside sample point offset will be used to calculate the existing surface slope. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures. No
Outside Edge of Existing Lane Offset Target Name of the object defining the outside sample point offset will be used to calculate the existing surface slope. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures. No

Behaviour

  • Areas must be provided for all layers.
  • The Levelling area is equal to the areas of Level 1 + Mill layers combined.
  • The Milling Area layer is represented in the diagram below as Mill.
  • Minimum Level Depth is equal to the area from the top of the milling layer to the bottom of the overlay layer.

Special Case

When Use Profile is selected in Profile Options, the overlay is located below the existing ground.

Behaviours:
  • Milling will continue Minimum Mill Depth downwards from bottom of Overlay
  • The area of Minimum Mill Depth will be filled as Level area.
  • Total Mill area is from the Datum layer to the Existing Ground layer.
Note: The same results will likely occur when Lock to Preceding is selected in Use Profile Options.
