Description
"Along with vegetation, grading counts as one of the most important design tools of landscape architects, who must be able to design with contour lines, develop alternatives, and examine the various options regarding design, ecology, economy, and technology. This requires knowledge of terrain modeling. Peter Petschek's Grading explains basics such as terrain, slope, elevation points, contour lines, and earth mass calculation, and introduces topics including ground stabilization, stormwater management, and terrain modeling on the construction site. This expanded edition provides comprehensive insight into new technologies such as the landscapingSMART workflow with digital terrain modeling (DTM) and 3D machine control. It conveys the project planning basics of the terrain modeling of roads and parking lots. Numerous international case studies, and a glossary as well as a section of exercises, in which the acquired knowledge can be practiced, complete the theoretical foundations of this handbook on grading."--Back cover.
