Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 9
Use the simplified version of the basic curve equation to calculate the minimum radius (ft) for a horizontal curve given a design speed of 60 mph, a maximum
superelevation of 6.0% and maximum friction factor of 0.12
QUESTION 10
A simple horizontal curve has 35 degrees of curvature and subtends an angle of 110 degrees. If the PC is at station 3 + 65.00 ft, what is the last deflection angle
(degrees) (i.e. the angle subtended by the roadway between the last full station and the PT)?
Expert Solution

Step 1
9)Given data-
Design speed(V) =60 mph = (60/3600)m/s
Super elevation (e) =6%=0.06
Friction (f) = 0.12
