Instructor: Dana Probert with Steve Stamatoplos
Class Description: Learn how to use Autodesk’s Civil Engineering solution to design and analyze stormwater management and erosion control in a road and highway context. This class will examine two typical cases for road drainage and discuss methods for handling quantity and quality of stormwater discharge, as well as erosion control. The first scenario is an urban area with an underground storm drainage network of pipes and inlets. We’ll analyze the road surface, delineate drainage areas, design and analyze a drainage network, and ensure that the design meets requirements for ponding and gutter spread. The second scenario is a suburban highway. We’ll build a corridor with a central grassed median and a network of roadside swales. The design will ensure proper drainage of the highway, sizing of swales and culverts, as well as placement of erosion control during construction and stabilization.
