According to his new model, it's far more likely that the highest flow marks reflect superelevation of a 3-to-10-m-deep flow of snow that raced around and up the side of the curve during an avalanche lasting about 23 seconds. Using Visual Drainage, WSDOT designers will be able to use existing roadway data, such as superelevation, longitudinal slopes, edge-of-pavement markers, and seamlessly input them into the drainage design process. Engineers will also be able to seamlessly transfer profiles, alignments, superelevation, survey points and chains, cross-sections, contours, boundaries, and intelligent DTM data to and from their existing design software solutions, thanks to the recent Visual Survey implementation of LandXML import and export capabilities. |
