Good afternoon,
I've been trying to figure out how to properly set up a template to create benching for a fill slope (see the attached picture), and I'm struggling to get it right. As you can see in the attached detail, there are requirements for the bonding benches with regards to the depth below the existing ground, a minim horizontal length of bench, and maximum vertical length of bench. And I just can't figure out how to set that up. Not to mention the number of bonding benches in and of itself is variable as that all depends on what the existing ground is doing. It seems like I'd need some null point that essentially tracks the existing ground line, and then maybe additional null points that check the depth below the existing ground to be able to identify when/where to bring the benching vertical.
Is this something that can even be done in a template?
Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Larry
