c_cwal1d.x08

define variables that must be assigned values in the input data file: "addn exc width" "cantilever wall footing thickness [1-9]" "cantilever wall footing width [1-9]" "cantilever wall parapet height" "cantilever wall parapet thickness" "cantilever wall stem thickness [1-9]" "cantilever wall toe width [1-9]" "min footing depth"   (see Misc. Details section below) "min footing setback"   (see Misc. Details section below) define_dgn variables that must be assigned values in the input data file: "type 1 concrete wall in dgn" Variables that must be defined in exceptions data file: none Notes for c_cwal1d.x08: Both station ranges and offset from centerline for the wall are set using lines drawn in plan view dgn file (define_dgn variable "type 1 concrete wall in dgn"). "type 1 concrete wall in dgn" line defines the offset from roadway centerline to the inside face of the parapet wall. The pavement structural section is widened as necessary to position the wall to match the "in dgn" line. This criteria file is a generalized rewrite of the wall criteria used for Generals Highway at Sequoia National Park. User specifies all the dimensions for each of nine different wall sections ("cantilever wall ... [1-9]") in the input file, with "wall 1" being the shortest progressing to "wall 9", the tallest. By default dimensions for all the wall sections are set in the criteria file itself to the values used for Generals Highway, with the tallest wall ("cantilever wall height 9") being 5.50 meters. Height of wall selected by this criteria is the shortest wall that satisfies both the "min footing depth" and the "min footing setback" requirements. (See Misc.Details section below for further explanation of these variables.) Wall will always be drawn where called for, even if the entire wall is below existing ground -- in which case the shortest wall height ("cantilever wall height 1") is used. If none of the specified walls satisfy the minimum footing depth/setback requirements, then a vertical line is drawn from top of pavement down to existing ground.  This will allow earthwork and construction reports to be run on the cross-sections. User must specify level/symbology very precisely for earthwork and the slope stake report. Earthwork Finish grade:   lv=2,8,10-12   co=0,10,11,16 Existing suitable (structure exc):   lv=46   co=46 Proposed undercut (wall backfill):   lv=47   co=47   soil type=same as proposed finish grade Slope stake report Finish grade:   lv=(bottom layer only),10,11   co=(bottom layer only),10,11,16

define variables that must be assigned values in the input data file: "addn exc width" "min footing depth"   (see Misc. Details section below) "min footing setback"   (see Misc. Details section below) "zee wall parapet height" "zee wall parapet thickness" "zee wall cantilever length" "zee wall cantilever fixed end depth" "zee wall cantilever free end depth" "zee wall footing thickness [1-5]" "zee wall footing width [1-5]" "zee wall height [1-5]" "zee wall stem thickness [1-5]" "zee wall toe width [1-5]" define_dgn variables that must be assigned values in the input data file: "zee wall in dgn" Variables that must be defined in exceptions data file: none Notes for c_zwalld.x08: Both station ranges and offset from centerline for the wall are set using lines drawn in plan view dgn file (define_dgn variable "zee wall in dgn"). "zee wall in dgn" line defines the offset from roadway centerline to the inside face of the parapet wall. The pavement structural section is widened as necessary to position the wall to match the "in dgn" line. (The width of the concrete cantilever is fixed.) This criteria file is a generalized rewrite of a wall criteria used for Generals Highway at Sequoia National Park 10(2). The height of the wall drawn by this criteria is selected from among five user specified wall heights ("zee wall height [1-5]") in the input file. For each wall height the user also supplies dimensions for the other wall x-section elements. Wall heights should be in increasing order (i.e., "zee wall height 1" should be the shortest wall height and "zee wall height 5" should be the tallest. Default (metric) dimensions for all the wall sections are set in the criteria file itself to the match the values used for Generals Highway (see the table below). If the default dimensions are acceptable then the user does not have to define values for these variables in the cross-section input file. Variable Name n = 1 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4 n = 5 "zee wall height n" 1.85 m 2.45 m 3.05 m 3.65 m 4.25 m "zee wall footing thickness n" 0.30 m 0.30 m 0.35 m 0.45 m 0.50 m "zee wall footing width n" 2.15 m 2.15 m 2.45 m 2.75 m 2.75 m "zee wall stem thickness n" 0.35 m 0.35 m 0.35 m 0.35 m 0.35 m "zee wall toe width n" 0.60 m 0.60 m 0.60 m 0.60 m 0.60 m Height of wall selected by this criteria will be the shortest of the user specified height that satisfies both the "min footing depth" and the "min footing setback" requirements. (See Misc.Details section below for further explanation of these variables.) If none of the user specified wall heights ("zee wall height 1" thru "zee wall height 5") satisfy the minimum footing depth/setback requirements, then this criteria draws a "non-standard" wall height to fit the existing ground. The height of the wall for this case is determined by setting the toe of the wall footing "min footing depth" below existing ground. The other wall x-section dimensions for this case are the same as for wall height 5. Wall will always be drawn where called for, even if the entire structure is below existing ground -- in which case the shortest wall height ("zee wall height 1") is used. The dimensions of the concrete wall cantilever section and the parapet wall are fixed. (i.e., they remain the same regardless of wall height) Hidden define variables "~max wall search dist" (default = 20) and "~min pvmt widening" (default = 0.01) are available to fine tune the performance of this criteria. User must specify level/symbology very carefully for the cross section reports to work correctly. (Notice that it was necessary to have the criteria draw an "extra" line with level/symbology lv=45 co=45 in order to get the reports to work.)
