Retaining Wall Profile Tips

[Anonymous]

If I have centerline alignment, profile and superelevation diagram, what is the easiest or fastest way to get the profile of the wall (top of wall) that is on the sides of the roadway?

I think we need more info to help you. Is this an existing wall or a proposed wall? If proposed are you designing the wall or is someone else designing the wall in conjunction with your design? Is the wall above or below your corridor? Is this a roadway or some other type design project. What criteria define the locations/heights of the wall?

It is for a proposed wall. I didn't do the design and was only given a few things to work with. Also, I am a corridor newbie for additional context.

They gave me a centerline alignment, profile and superelevation (markups from PDF only). They want me to profile the proposed walls which is a few feet from the centerline.

Is corridor the best tool to use in this case if I need to achieve it as quick as possible? Or is there a way to solely use feature lines (which I am confident with) that factors in superelevation?

“Few feet from the centerline”

1) extract one of the top of wall featurelines from the Corridor and project it on the CL profile… See if the boss is ok with that.

2) Create it’s own alignment and feature profile.
