Description
This manual serves two primary functions. It is a training manual for instructor-led training, and a user's manual for drainage engineers, designers, and technicians. Lab exercises are provided
in the chapters, although the instructor-based classes may not use all the exercises or cover all the chapters. This manual is a comprehensive guide demonstrating FDOT Civil 3D workflows for defining drainage basins, pipe and structure placement, editing and labeling Civil 3D's intelligent objects, and visualization techniques to promote ease
of understanding and facilitating communication of design intent This manual demonstrates the workflows for base map compilation, rules-based layout of pipes and structures, displaying and editing network parts in plan and profile
views, and creating finished ground terrain models. Roadway alignments, profile views, and digital terrain models are utilized to display and edit the network parts during the design process. Terrain models are used to communicate flow direction, delineate watershed boundaries, set
rim elevations, and represent existing and design grades. This manual contains an example of a closed drainage system for paved areas utilizing inlet, junction and outfall structures with connecting pipes. 3D visualization tools
enable the user to quickly recognize errors and effectively communicate design intent. Hydrologic analysis, hydraulic analysis, and plan production are not topics covered by this manual. |
