In honor of ComputerScienceEducationWeek, this blog reviews how computers play a big part in ADOT project plans:
We draw them, we review them, and we use them during construction, because they tell us what to do. Roadway plans are common around ADOT amongst designers and construction personnel, but you’ve probably never seen them for yourself. Here are just a few things that we include in plan sets.Pavement structural sections describe the layers of a roadway. In this example, above the subgrade goes 5 inches of AB , then a layer of AC , a tack coat , and another layer of AC on top.
A typical section shows which structural sections are used in specific areas. They’re accompanied by station limits . Those numbers refer to a specific location in the same way a milepost would. This typical section also gives a distance from the right-of-way line to the centerline of the road, the slope of the roadway, and widths of the lanes and shoulders. This way, we know exactly where the roadway will go and how big it will be.
