Answer #1

We can say that from the given solution. We have to reduce the speed because we can not take increase the values of 'e' and 'f' further. we can take these values up to the maximum limit only.

A two-lane highway with a design speed of 106.7 km/h requires a transition curve for a horizontal curve of 550 m radius. The curve is used to connect the tangents that form an external angle of 24 degree. The lanes of the highway are 3.65 m wide and the coefficient of side friction for this design speed is 0.11. The change of grade between the centreline and the edge (i.e. Δg) is limited to 1 over 250 for comfort. Calculate...

ou are asked to design a horizontal curve for a two-lane road. The road has 12-ft lanes. Due to expensive excavation, it is determined that a maximum of 35 ft can be cleared from the road’s centerline toward the inside lane to provide for stopping sight distance. Also, local guidelines dictate a maximum superelevation of 0.08 ft/ft. Determine the design speed for this curve (mph)?
