Civil 3d Expressions Pipenetwork V1.3
Civil 3d Expressions Pipenetwork V1.3
Note:
I. This expression is done for start elevation same way you can create for
end elevation as well, be careful about the “+ & -“ sign.
II. 2.00 is Half of MH inner diameter and 0.010 is slope, hence this expression
works only for these criteria. Different expression shall be created for
various criteria’s based on requirements.
Cross check the new slope based on invert elevations and pipe length.
Add all contents based on your required units, precisions and CAD standards for
annotation style and justifications.
Note:
I. Floor thickness is varying to different manholes. In this scenario floor
thickness is 6” (0.50’) which is equal to concrete bed thickness as per
trench detail drawing.
II. Floor thickness factor should be considered while calculating depth.
III. 1.00 is an asphalt or concrete depth of paved area.
Note:
I. For calculating earthwork volume excavation, we should consider the
trench bedding and back fill detail drawing as per design or local
municipal standards.
II. Pipe cross section is varying based on design.
III. In this scenario pipe section is rectangle and we use civil 3d tool for
modeling and earthwork calculations table hence should have
rectangular pipes based on section. And, circular pipe section based on
design pipe diameter, so it helps to calculate detailed earthwork
calculation such as excavation volume and backfill volume.
Above table figures doesn’t make sense if we calculate manually and we see
the difference in decimals I did cross check with roundoff decimals to 4- digits
and it will work well can go back to 2 or 3 digits without variations in volume.
Roundoff the pipe length and average depth to 4-digit decimal places and
recreate respective expressions to maintain the civil 3d volume table accuracy
and precisions.
