LARE Section 4: Grading, Drainage and
Stormwater Management
Architectonic Grading Form correct answersthe proposed grading creates uniform slopes and forms
which usually are crisply defined geometric shapes
Sculptural Grading Form correct answersbridge between architectonic and naturalistic, a range of forms
that fall between the sharp, crisp, planar architectonic forms and the fluid curves of the natural forms
Geomorphic Grading Form correct answersproposed grading blends ecologically and visually with the
character of the existing natural landscape
Naturalistic Grading Form correct answersa stylized approach in which abstract landforms are used to
represent or imitate the natural landscape, makes the user believe the landscape is from natural forces
Two grading Constraint Categories correct answersenvironmental and functional
Slab Foundation correct answersforms a horizontal plane with a relatively thin profile, the least amount
of grading flexibility
Continuous wall foundation correct answersforms a line that provides for a moderate degree of flexibility
pole, or pier construction correct answersprovides the greatest amount of grading flexibility and
potentially the least amount of grading impact since there is minimal ground disturbance
Contour correct answersan imaginary line that connects all points of equal elevation above of below a
fixed reference plane or datum
Contour Line correct answersthe graphic representation of a contour on a plan or map
, countour interval correct answersthe difference in elevation between adjacent contour lines
section correct answersa drawing made on a plane, which vertically cuts through the earth and or an
object like a building
ridge correct answersa raised, elongated landform, at the narrow end of the form the contours point in
the downhill direction
valley correct answersan elongated depression that forms the space between two ridges, represented by
contours that point uphill
summit correct answersa landform, such as a knoll, hill, or mountain which contains the highest point
relative to the surrounding terrain, highest contour is at the center
concave correct answersconcave slopes have contour lines that are spaced at increasing distances in the
downhill direction, the slope is steeper at the higher elevations and becomes progressively more flat at
the lower elevations
convex correct answersconvex slopes have contour lines that are spaced at decreasing distances in the
downhill direction, the slope is flatter at the higher elevations and becomes progressively steeper at the
lower elevations
uniform slope correct answerscontour lines are spaced at uniform, equal distances
slope correct answersvertical change in elevation in a horizontal distance
Crown Road Grading correct answersthe difference in elevation between the edge and the centerline of
the roadway
Parabolic section of a crown correct answerscommonly used in asphalt construction, the change in slope
direction at the roadway centerline is achieved by a rounded transition, contours point downhill
