Find out the length of the transition cruve for a horizontal curve. The horizontal curve external distance 20 m and central angle 4=30°. The width of the pavement 7.3m. Extra widening 0.7m. design. Speed 30 Km/h. Superelevation = 7%.
You are asked to design a horizontal curve for a four-lane road. The road has 12-ft lanes. Due to expensive excavation, it is determined that a maximum of 47 ft can be cleared from the road's centerline toward the inside lane to provide for stopping sight distance. If local guidelines dictate a maximum superelevation of 8%, what is the highest possible design speed for this curve?
1) An equal-tangent crest vertical curve has a 50 mi/h design speed. The initial grade is +3%. The high point is at station 33+37.43 and the PVT is at station 37+18.26. What is the elevation difference between the high point and the PVT? 2) A 1400-ft-long sag vertical curve (equal tangent) has a PVC at stateion 115+00 and elevation 750ft. The intial grade is -3.5% and the final grade is +6.5%. Determine the elevation and stationing of the low point, PVI, and PVT. If you could show as many steps taken as possible that would be helpful in me actually understanding how to do the problem. Thanks
1. Two vertical parabolic curves have been connected to form a roadway by three gradients: -5.30 %, 4.10 % and -3.70 % respectively. If the length of the second curve is twice as the length of the first curve, compute the following: a. The length of the second curve in ft given that the design speed of the first curve is 80 kph assuming a vertical radial acceleration of 0.3m/s for comfort criterion. b. The length of the second curve in m if the headlight height of the vehicle is 0.73 m above the first curve and the inclined upward angle of the headlight beam relative to the horizontal plane of the vehicle is 1.57'. The design speed for the first curve for this situation is 90 kph. c. The length of the first curve in yard if the total length of the roadway is 745 m given that the second curve has a design speed of 70 kph for passing sight distance with the driver's eye height assumed to be 1.5 mand object height of 0.33 m d.
