Description

In this course, the student will study the factors affecting the layout and location of road and utility alignments. Students will study and compute parabolic vertical curves, simple horizontal, reverse, and compound curves, transition spiral curves along with computing end areas and volumes. Students will study and compute the location of slope stakes, draw on CAD a simple road alignment and slope stake this project in the field and staked with GPS and/or robotic total stations. Students will study fundamentals of construction staking and computations in staking including grades, cuts & fills, offset coordinates, etc. Corridors of plans, profiles, and cross-sections will be produced (Civil 3D) for staking for a short road design with curbs and sanitary. The student will use digital levels, robotic total stations, GPS and data collectors to stake these projects in the spring of the year using alignments and techniques in corridor project staking. Prerequisite: CET 215, CET 226
