OverlayLevel1Lane1Side

This subassembly overlays one side of an existing carriageway, with a 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: Note: All dimensions are in metres or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4:1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a "%" sign.
Parameter Description Type Default
Side Specifies which side of the road centreline to place the subassembly. Left/Right Right
Overlay Depth Depth of the overlay layer. Numeric 0.300m (0.300 ft)
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 (0.000 ft)
Outside Edge of Existing Lane This is the end point for calculating existing ground slope. Numeric 12.000m (12.000 ft)
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, then 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 Match slope
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 0.000m (0.000 ft)
Use Profile Options Select to tie the inside edge of the overlay layer to a profile, adjust elevation to minimum level depth or lock to previous 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 The minimum level depth between the existing surface and the bottom of the overlay layer. Numeric 0.300m (0.300 ft)
Slope Tolerance The amount that the overlay crossfall is allowed to vary from the existing ground crossfall or the ideal crossfall. Numeric, positive 0.50%

General Input Parameters

Flapping

Note: Flapping outcomes are different, relative to the Slope Tolerance and the Slope Difference between existing ground crossfall and ideal crossfall.

Inside Edge of Lane Offset

Lock to Preceding 1

This use case occurs when the level depth at the start of the second lane is greater than minimum level depth. In this case, the attachment point will lock to the preceding subassembly. No vertical adjustment is needed for this use case, but flapping will be applied. Flapping will attempt to adjust crossfall to produce Corrected Crossfall that will satisfy the Minimum Level Depth if the conditions permit.

Lock to Preceding 2

This use case occurs when the level depth at the start of a second lane is less than the than minimum level depth. In this case, the attachment point will lock to the preceding subassembly. No vertical adjustment is needed for this use case, but flapping will be applied. Flapping will attempt to adjust crossfall for the overlay layer to produce Corrected Crossfall that matches a minimum level depth of 0.

Minimum Level Depth

Outside Lane Superelevation

The ideal crossfall is equal to the outside lane superelevation.
Note: A superelevation table for the alignment is required to read these values. Superelevation values will be read from the superelevation table for the alignment.

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 -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 percentage

Behaviour

This subassembly assumes that no milling layer is added. Flapping is within tolerance to meet no mill and minimum level. You can adjust level if needed to meet the no mill and minimum level. Procedurally, flapping should always be applied first, followed by vertical adjustment of the overlay layer if needed.
Note: It's not supported to adjust the corrected crossfall after vertical adjustments are performed on the overlay layer.
