USE OF MX ROAD SOFTWARE FOR HIGHWAY DESIGN

WHY WE HAVE CHOOSEN THIS PROJECT? • • • •

At present, all over the world MX ROAD is used. By using this software, design can be done as per National and International standards. It gives edge to the designer to design and rectify the fault immediately. With the help of this software, time and man power is saved.

NON URBAN ROADS

Expressways: •The function of expressways is to cater for movement of heavy volumes of vehicle traffic at high speeds.

National Highways: •National Highways are main highways running through the length & breadth of India , connecting major ports , foreign highway etc .

NON URBAN ROADS State Highways: •State

Highways are arterial roads of a state, connecting up with the NH of adjacent state .

Major District Roads: •Major

District Roads are important roads with in a district serving areas of production & markets.

URBAN ROADS Arterial Roads: •This

system of streets, along with expressways where they exist, serves as the principal network for through traffic flows.

Sub-arterial Roads: •These

are functionally similar to arterial streets but with somewhat lower level of travel mobility.

URBAN ROADS Collector Streets: •The

function of collector streets is to collect traffic from local streets and feed it to the arterial and sub-arterial streets or vice versa.

Local Streets : •These

are intended primarily to provide access to abutting properly and normally do not carry large volumes of traffic .

RURAL ROADS Other District Roads : •

These are roads serving rural areas of production and providing them with outlet to market centres, tehsil headquarters.

Village Roads : •

These are roads connecting villages or group of villages with each other and to the nearest road of a higher category.

MX Road •

• •

Bentley MXROAD is an advanced, stringbased modeling tool that enables the rapid and accurate design of all road types. With MXROAD you can quickly create design alternatives to achieve the “ideal” road system. Upon selection of the final design alternative, MXROAD automates much of the design detailing process, saving the time and money.

Advantages of MX Road •

Rapid, Accurate Design of All Road Types in 3D

•

Full Alignment Design Capability

•

Proven Technology

•

Easy import and export facilities in software

Aim & Utility To design a road stretch using IRC Codes & MX Road Software. • The codes used for this project are given below: (a) IRC 37-2001(Guidelines for the design of flexible pavement) (b) IRC 37-2012(Guidelines for the design of flexible pavement) (c) IRC 86-1983(Geometric design standards for urban roads in plains) • The utility & extension of such type of projects can prove very handy for consultants , engineers , organisations like P.W.D. , C.P.W.D. , M.E.S. , B.R.O. , N.H.A.I. , M.O.S.T. , C.R.R.I. & so on. • Feasibility reports on deg the road stretch can be developed. •

WORK DONE TILL NOW • • •

•

We met with the sir and decided the project. We read some research papers, IRC 86-1983 & IRC 37-2001. We tied up with a company and work their for 4 days and got the survey data and traffic data from there. We have made the plan and cross section of the road in MX Road.

INPUT FILES NEEDED FOR MX ROAD SURVEY DATA

TRAFFIC DATA

DESIGN STEP FOR ROAD PLAN • • • • • • •

We take the survey data and plot the points with the help of it in MX Road. After that, we will do triangulation of that area. Then, we make master string in horizontal design which is the centre line of the road. Then, we will give vertical profile to the road. After that, we will design median and carriageway of the road. Now, we will provide super elevation in the road. Then, we will design shoulders of the road.
