    This document provides instructions for using Civil CAD software to design a highway. It discusses the different classifications of highways from interstates to local roads and lists several software applications that can be used for highway design, selecting Civil CAD. It then outlines the 11 step process for using Civil CAD, which involves uploading road elevation and chainage data, plotting the horizontal and vertical alignments, defining the cross section format, and inputting offset and elevation points to draw the cross section and calculate cut and fill volumes.

    COURSE: CVE 656 ASSIGNMENT 1

    NAME: ISIAKA BASHIR.O

    MATRIC NO: 00/30GB032

    Highway is an aspect of engineering which is vitally important to a


    country’s economic development. The construction of high quality road
    network directly increases a nation’s economic output by reducing
    journey times and costs.

    Highway engineering involves the application of scientific principles to


    the planning, design, maintenance, and operation of a highway project.

    Highway design is based on the functional classification as follows:

    Interstate: Roadways on the federal system with the highest design


    speeds and the highest design standard.

    Freeway: an expressway with full control of access and no-at grade


    intersections.

    Expressway: a divided arterial highway with full or partial control of


    access and generally having grade separations at major intersections.

    Local or street road: a road whose primary function is to provide access


    to residences, business or other abutting properties.

    However, all the above mentioned road classification can be designed


    with the following software’s application.

    Civil CAD

    Land Development

    Civil Soft

    Road Cad

    Eagle Point

    Suffer

    Civil Cad is therefore, adopted for the road design.


    Procedure for using Civil Cad for road design.

    Step 1: Upload your road elevation and its chain-ages.

    Step 2: Load the elevation profile data into M.S excel.

    Step 3: Save the data with a .prn. Extension files (Tab delimited).

    Step 4: Open the civil cad interface and click road work from the drop
    down menu and then select horizontal alignment.

    Step 5: Go to file and open the saved excel data uploaded and then
    refresh all the uploaded data will be plotted.

    Step 6: Select polyline to join the points plotted, select horizontal


    alignment and input the radius of curvature where required.

    Step 7: Go to menu to select road work and then click vertical


    alignment.

    Step 8: Draw a polyline of the topography plotted and click on apply and
    the vertical elevation will be plotted.

    Step 9: Select the cross section from the road drop down menu and click
    on define section to choose section format.

    Step 10: Select the station and scroll down to the existing level section at
    the lower portion of the screen, input the offset and elevation.

    Step 11: Input the design level and click on apply, then choose any point
    to draw the cross section.

    Step 12: The vertical alignment data can then be used to calculate
    volume of cut and fill.

    END.
