A Study to the Geometric Design of Road Project Using Civil 3D

Abstract

India is a country whose population is growing rapidly, indicating that traffic is also increases. The development of rural areas also increases its means furthering of transportation facilities are also developed. The geometric design manages the dimensions and layout of visible features of the road such as alignment, sight distance, cross-section and intersections. When geometric design performed manually, it is time-consuming and highly susceptible to very costly errors. In the present time, various software are available in market such as Bentley MX Road, HEADS, AutoCAD Civil 3D, etc are used to design the geometry of road. Current patterns are adapted to the utilization of computer programs for roadway geometry design. This software provides clarity, save times and effort to a user. The purpose of this paper is on the complete study to the geometric design of road project using Civil 3D Software. Civil 3D is a software for engineering it is used for the design, plan and manage the civil engineering works. This software is generally used by experts and civil engineers. The objective of this project is to design the road alignment in a less time with high accuracy using Civil 3D. The survey data is must be necessary for road creation. By utilizing a total station study can be completed quickly and can shorten the time. Total station is utilized for import the points in Civil 3D which is as x, y, z coordinates that are easting, northing, and elevation. These coordinates of the ground data is very useful to generate the surface, design the alignment and other geometric features
