A curve of 100 m radius (e=8.0 % and fs=0.14) is located at a section of an existing rural highway which restricts the safe speed to 55 % of the design speed causing a high accident rate. To reduce the accident rate, a new curve is to be designed. Determine the minimum radius of this curve if the safe speed should be increased to the design speed. Assume the same values of e and fs.
