410 CROSS SECTIONS

410.01 INTRODUCTION The  following  deals  with  the  production  of  cross sections,  which  form  part  of  the  information  for construction  contracts.    Because  of  the  variety  of designs, universal  statements about  the content of cross  sections  are  difficult;  therefore,  this  is  a general discussion. 

Cross sections provide a third dimension to plan and profile  that  ties  the  horizontal  and  vertical alignment  to  the  ground.    They  are  used  for  such purposes as: 

•  Identifying  areas  of  conflict  due  to  the interaction  of  the  design  template  and  the existing ground. 

•  Helping to identify R/W requirements. 

•  Determining  embankment  and  excavation project quantities. 

•  Determining various roadway design features such  as  drainage  curbs,  roadside  barrier, ditching and cross culvert locations, etc. 

•  Assisting  Construction  supervisors  to  better understand  the  designer’s  intent  for  such things as driveways, structures and drainage. 

•  Assisting  contractors  in  the  bidding  process for  evaluating  station  to  station  quantities, cut and fill slopes, and potential construction problems. 

410.02 FORMAT Cross sections may be plotted on roll stock or D size sheets.  On roll stock, each end of the roll will have the  same  information as  shown on  the  title or key page  of  the  contract  drawings.    Each  L‐line  shall start a new stack. 

On D size cut sheets, there shall be a title page with the  same  information  as  above.    Each  page  shall identify  the  L‐line  and/or  road  name  or  structure that  the  sections  represent.    Each  L‐line  shall  start with a new stack. 

Submissions  for  the purpose of  design  reviews  are often  provided  as  half  size  copies  on  11”  x  17” sheets.    Adobe  PDF  files  are  also  convenient  for review.    Contact  the  appropriate  regional  Senior Highway Design Engineer to verify what format will be acceptable for design reviews. 

For  rural  projects,  use  a  natural  scale  of  1:100  or 1:250 for both horizontal and vertical. 

Urban projects usually require the larger horizontal scale  of  1:100.    The  vertical  scale  may  be exaggerated and is normally 1:50.  A scale of 1:25 is optional where needed. 

The  major  grid  shall  typically  be  at  5  m  intervals, although  10  m  may  be  used  on  mountainous projects. 

The  control  line  of  the  cross  sections  should  align with a major grid line. 

Rural  spacing  for plotted cross sections shall be no greater than 20 m on tangents and curves, with    10 m  spacing  for  rock  sections  and  5  m  spacing  at retaining  walls  and  other  critical  areas.    Cross sections  at  horizontal  alignment  curve  and  spiral transition  stations  should  also  be  included.    The design cross section spacing requirements specified in Section 1280.10.05.01.02 of the Civil 3D Terms of Reference  Project  Data  Format  and  Workflow Requirements must be followed.  This may result in significantly more  closely  spaced  cross  sections  for design  purposes;  however,  the  final  plotted  cross sections do not necessarily have to include all of the design cross sections. 

Urban spacing shall be 10 m for both tangents and curves  with  5  m  spacing  at  retaining  walls.    Cross sections at accesses and other critical areas may be needed to provide additional information. 

The  cross  sections  are  plotted  with  the  chainage increasing  from the bottom of  the page  to  the  top for each stack.

410.03 CONTENT

Existing Features: 

The  following  list  is  included  as  an  example of  the type of information typically needed to identify the existing  features.    The  uniqueness  of  each  project will  determine  what  information  needs  to  be shown. 

•  Existing ground line with features identified. 

•  Original ground elevation at the control line. 

•  Station of each cross section. 

•  Existing R/W boundaries. 

•  Existing utilities and drainage (e.g. access and cross culverts). 

•  Structures  (e.g.,  retaining  walls,  endwall, fences, buildings, etc.). 

•  All  accesses  –  a  cross  section  at  each centreline.  

•  Side  roads  –  a  cross  section  at  each centreline.  Identify the road. 

Proposed Features: 

The  following  list  is  included  as  an  example of  the type of information typically needed to transmit the intent of the design.  The uniqueness of each design will determine exactly what information needs to be shown. 

•  Finished  grade  line  and  cross  fall  with proposed  elevation  at  centreline  or  control line. 

•  Complete  roadway  structure  and  subgrade cross fall if different from finished grade. 

•  Elevations of toe of fill slope and lowest ditch point. 

•  Proposed R/W boundaries. 

•  Stratum lines and stripping. 

•  Drainage  and  utility  locations,  except  utility pole lines. 

•  Show typical location of utility poles once per stack, if generally parallel. 

•  Clear zone limit, where applicable. 

•  Indicate  the  foreslope,  backslope  and  fill slope  values  once  per  stack  and  each  time the slopes change. 

•  Structures  (e.g.,  retaining  walls,  endwall, fences,  buildings,  etc.)  within  the  proposed R/W. 

•  Provide  necessary  information  on  the composition  and  staging  of  embankments (e.g., lightweight core, surcharge, etc.). 

•  Sound berms with slopes and elevation. 

•  Drainage  information  (e.g.,  drainage  arrows to indicate flow direction). 

•  Curb and gutter. 

•  Roadside and median barrier. 

Special Sections: 

•  Special  sections  shall  be  interspersed  as required  to  pick  up  other  features  such  as ground  breaks  and  changes  in  ground  type (i.e., change from Type A to Type D material as  defined  in  Standard  Specification  201.11) and accesses, etc. 

•  Cross  sections  at  creek  crossings,  existing large culverts with drainage channels, etc. 

•  Cross sections at critical control points. 

Optional Useful Information: 

•  Areas and volumes (cut and fill) for each type of material, excluding pavement and gravels, should be shown on the cross sections.  This data  can  assist  the  contractors  in  preparing their bid. 

•  Properties Branch may request cross sections at property boundaries.

Figure 440.H Solid Rock Cut Sections

Notes:

1. Rock cut height is measured from the outside ditch point to the top of the rock face, excluding overburden.

2. All cuts to be excavated to subgrade line.

3. A geotechnical investigation is to be carried out for all cuts greater than 8 m and for all cuts where geohazards

may exist (i.e. within or beyond construction cross section limits).

4. Use a vertical backslope unless a flatter slope is recommended in the geotechnical report.

5. Overburden slope is normally 1.5:1, but may vary depending upon the type of material.

6. Increase the ditch bottom width dimension to ensure lateral clearance for SSD in curves.

7. For the 'Alternate' detail, use 0.25:1 backslope unless a different slope is recommended in the geotechnical report.

8. Barrier, clear zone and drainage requirements will be reviewed during the detailed design phase.

9. Remediation/slope stabilization design involves potentially the application of mesh on slope heights > 10 m,

pattern bolt installation, shotcrete application and/or catch fence/barrier.

Notes:

1. Material considered unsuitable for embankment construction may be disposed within the

right-of-way as shown in the diagram.

2. The unsuitable material shall be deposited below the base of the select granular subbase

(SGSB) so that SGSB drainage is not compromised.

3. In the case of rock fill embankment, adequate drainage shall be provided through the

unsuitable material so that no pore pressure can build up within the rock embankment.

4. The unsuitable material placed on the embankment slope must be stable against

sloughing.
