CurbAndGutterCurbRamp

The CurbAndGutterCurbRamp subassembly inserts links for a standard shape concrete curb-and-gutter with subbase that allows for adjustment of the curb height by a profile to allow for the modeling of a curb ramp. User-defined input parameters control the dimensions of the shape.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the flange point of the gutter, the flowline, or the back of the curb.

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.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Description

Status

Gutter Width May be used to override the gutter width. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the width: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Lip Elevation May be used to override the gutter slope and tie the elevation of the curb lip to the elevation of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Top Of Curb Target May be used to override the top of curb elevation and tie the elevation of the top of curb to the elevation of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The curb and gutter links are inserted based on the Input Parameter dimensions Dimension A - Dimension F. All dimensions must be positive, non-zero values. If a non-zero subbase depth is given, the subbase layer is inserted to the back of curb, and continues for the Subbase Extension width. The subbase layer closes to the bottom-back-of-curb, as shown in the diagram.

If the insertion point is other than back of curb, then the curb height is adjusted by the Top Of Curb Target. The adjustment may not exceed the top of curb height or reduce the curb face below zero. If the top of curb elevation is exceeded the full face of the curb is built. If the top of curb elevation is less than zero, then a zero value is used.

If the insertion point is other than GutterEdge then the gutter width and slope is adjusted if the targets for the gutter edge are present. The gutter slope and elevation targets may need to be non-standard to meet accessibility requirements.

The subassembly builds the shape for a curb and gutter, with the attachment point either at (a) inside edge of the gutter (or lip), or (b) the back of the curb, or (c) the flowline. The face of the curb is given a small, constant width to make it non-vertical.

Layout Mode Operation
