Given a side slope of 2:1, a road width of 10 m and cross-sectional area of 36.4 sq m, for the following cross-sectional notes:
9.8..........0...........x2
y1..........y..........1.2
Determine the value of y.
From station A with center height for 1.4m in fill, the ground makes a uniform slope of 5% to station B whose center height is 2.8 m in cut. Assuming both sections to be level sections having a width of roadway of 14 m and a side slope of 2:1 for both cut and fill, compute the cross-sectional area of fill 48 m from station A. Distance from station A to station B is 60 m.
From station 10+100 with center heights of 2 m in fill, the ground line makes a uniform slope of 4.8% to station 10+150 whose center heights is 1.2 m in cut.
1. Determine the slope of a new roadway to be constructed.
2. Determine the distance from station 10+150, will the excavation extend.
3. Determine the area of fill 10 m from 10+100 if the width of roadway is 8 m and the side slope is 1:2.
