Question: 3 . 2 A right - hand circular curve is used as part of the horizontal alighment of a 2 - lane, two - way

3.2 A right-hand circular curve is used as part of the horizontal alighment of a 2-lane, two-way rural road. The following curve data are given:
Curve radii(R)=415m, central angle ()=35, design speed =80kmh, super-elevation (e)=4% lane width =3.5m, shoulder width =0.8m, camber =2.0%, end of curve (EC) point at chainage 3+500, minimum required stopping sight distance (SSD) is 115m, and superelevation runoff length =50m. Assume that one-third of the runoff transition is in the curve.
3.2.1 Calculate the curve length (L), Tangent length (T), Chainage at point of intersection (P1), Chaingge at beginning of the curve (BC) and deflection angle at EC chainage. (5)
3.2.2 Provide a neat, labelled sketch to show the superelevation diagram into the curve (Provide all necessary calculations)
3.2.3 Verify if it safe in terms of sight distance to construct a single story building 2m from the shoulder's edge (7)
