UrbanCurbGutterGeneral

This subassembly inserts links for a standard shape concrete curb-and-gutter with subbase.

User-defined input parameters control the dimensions of the shape.

Attachment

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

Input Parameters

Note: Subbase dimensions are in meters or feet. Curb-and-gutter dimensions must be given in millimeters or inches.

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.

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

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Target Parameters: None.

Output Parameters

Parameter Description Type

Superelevation Axis of Rotation

Indicates whether the subassembly supports the axis of rotation calculation. To view a description of the parameter, in the Properties window, hover the cursor over the parameter.

For more information, see Profile Grade Line Adjustments During Superelevation.

Static (Description)

Superelevation Axis of Rotation Support

If the Gutter Slope Direction is set to Away from Crown, then the gutter slope is the opposite of the superelevation slope. If Gutter Slope Direction is set to Towards Crown, the gutter slope is reversed.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the curb-and-gutter component based on the input parameters given. If the Use SE parameter is set to true, the subbase layer is inserted at a slope of -2%.
