The maximum capacity of a 2-lane carriage way of a four lane (dual carriage way) is 2000 veh/hr. Due to pipe-laying operations, the width of the 2-line carriage way is reduced, restricting the maximum capacity to 1100 veh/hr. the spacing is 8 m when the vehicles in stationary condition. If the flow in the upstream beyond the influence of bottleneck is 1500 veh/hr and the relationship between speed and cor centration is linear,find the following The mean speed of traffic in the bottleneck. 2- The rate at which the queue of congested vehicles is grew.
Civil Analysis of highway section A portion of a four-lane multilane highway with a full median carries 2,600 vehicles per hour during peak hours in the busiest direction. In the traffic flow, there are 2% RVs and 14% trucks. The facility's regular users are mainly motorists. The segment under study is a mile-long, 3% sustained gradient. PHF equals 0.88. Field research has been done to establish that the facility's free-flow speed is 55.0 miles per hour. What degree of service will be provided during peak hours at this facility?
On a railroad, a -0.8% grade meets a +0.4% grade at Sta. 2 + 700 whose elevation is 30 m. The maximum allowable change in grade per station having a length of 20 m is 0.15 %. It is desired to place a culvert to draw the waters during heavy downpour. Where must this culvert be located? At what elevation must the invert of the culvert be set if the pipe has a diameter of 0.9 m and the backfill is 0.3 m high. Neglect the thickness of the pipe. Please show the detailed solution. Thank you

Question- At an industrial area an access road to an industrial facility is paved with a 3 Sand-mix asphaltic concrete wearing layer, a 5 Hot-mix asphaltic concrete base layer, a crushed stone subbase layer and has a structural number of 4. Assume that the drainage coefficient for the base layer is 1 and the drainage coefficient for the subbase layer is 0.94. The access road is designed for a maximum traffic load of 9x106 ESAL for 25-years design period. Find the thickness of its subbase layer of crushed stones used in this pavement.

Need solution A runway is being constructed in a new airport as per the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations. The elevation and the airport reference temperature of the airport are 535 m above the mean sea level and 22.65°C, respectively. Consider the effective gradient of runway as 1%. The length of runway required for a design-aircraft under the standard condition is 2000 m. Within the framework of applying sequential corrections as per the ICAO recommendations, the length of runway corrected for the temperature is
