GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF ROAD AT SERI KEMBANGAN, SELANGOR USING AUTODESK CIVIL 3D

Abstract

Road planning and design involve tasks of understanding different criteria in road geometry. The tasks involved in road design are extracting the heights from the detail and topography drawing, generating the surface to show the 
contour, designing the horizontal alignment, generating profile along the horizontal alignment, designing the vertical alignment, generating cross sections, creating an assembly, creating corridors and generate the earthwork volume of the design. This study presents a complete geometrical road design of a typical urban road using Autodesk Civil 3D. The results obtained show that Autodesk Civil 3D is applicable in road design such as generating horizontal and vertical alignments, computing the earthwork volume along the alignment and generating 3D views of the alignment.

Keywords: Road design, Autodesk Civil 3D, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, earthwork volume
