Q. 9 While aligning a highway in a built up area, it was necessary to Understand CO2
provide a horizontal circular curve of radius 325 M. The design speed &Apply
is 65kmph, length of wheel base of largest truck = 6.0 m and of
pavement is 10.5 m. Design the following geometric features:
(1) Super elevation (2) Extra widening of pavement
Q. 10 A state highway passing through a rolling terrain has a horizontal Understand CO2
curve of radius equal to the ruling minimum radius.1) Design all the &Apply
geometric features of this horizontal curve, assume suitable data.2)
Specify the minimum set back from centre line of two lane highway
on the inner side of curve up to which the buildings etc obstructing
vision should be constructed so that intermediate sight distance (ISD)
is available throughout the circular curve.
Q. 11 Calculate the extra widening required for the pavement of width 10.5 Understand CO2
m on a horizontal curve of radius 200m if the longest wheel base of &Apply
vehicle expected on the road is 6.5 m. design speed is 65 Kmph.
Q. 12 Find the total width of pavement on horizontal curve for new state Understand CO2
highway to be aligned along rolling terrain with ruling minimum &Apply
radius . Assume necessary data.
Q. 13 The design speed of highway is 80 kmph. There is a horizontal curve Understand CO2
of radius 200m on a certain locality. safe limit of transverse &Apply
coefficient of friction is 0.15
1) Calculate the super elevation required to maintain the speed 2) if
the maximum super elevation of 0.07 is not to be exceed calculate the
maximum allowable speed on the horizontal curve as it is not possible
to increase the radius .
Q. 14 A two lane road the design speed 80 kmph has horizontal curve of Understand CO2
radius 480m. Design super elevation for mixed traffic. by how much &Apply
should the outer edges of the pavement be raised with respect to inner
edges if the width of pavement at the horizontal curve is 7.5 m .
