ShoulderIntersectLeft

The ShoulderIntersectLeft subassembly creates a shoulder extended to a daylight point based on the shoulder slope and subgrade grade. It only operates to the left.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the left paved shoulder, which is typically at the outside edge-of-traveled way on the left side of the baseline.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters 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
Top Inside Point Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the top inside point.	Comma-separated string	P1
Bottom Inside Point Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the bottom inside point.	Comma-separated string	P2
Outside Point Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the outside point.	Comma-separated string	P3
Top Link Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the top link.	Comma-separated string	L2
Bottom Link Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the bottom link.	Comma-separated string	L3
Depth Link Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the depth link.	Comma-separated string	L1
Depth	Depth of the shoulder below the attach point.	Numeric, positive	1.5 ft 0.45 m
Subgrade Grade	% slope of the subgrade.	Numeric	-4 ( % )
Shoulder Slope	Slope of the shoulder.	Numeric, positive	4 (: 1)
Material Shape Code	A list of codes to be assigned to the material shape.	Comma-separated string	Subbase
Superelevation	Specifies to use superelevation slope.	Selection list	LeftOutsideShoulder

Target Parameters

None.

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The shoulder is inserted for the given shoulder depth, shoulder slope, and shoulder subgrade. The width is calculated where the shoulder slope and shoulder subgrade intersects. Then the points, links, and shapes are calculated.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode the subassembly displays the links comprising the shoulder.

Point, Link, and Shape Codes
