Question: A two - lane highway ( one 3 . 5 m lane in each direction ) with a design speed of 9 0 k m

A two-lane highway (one 3.5 m lane in each direction) with a design speed of 90kmh goes from normal crown with 2% cross-slope to 6% superelevation by means of a spiral transition curve. The spiral curve is 60 m long. If the superelevation is attained by rotating the road section around its centreline:
(a) Draw a cross section of the road at L=10,20,40m from TS.(Show all the drawings in the uploaded solution sheet.
Horizontal distances, and elevated heights must all be labelled in the drawing)
(b) Calculate the elevation of the outer edge with respect to the centre line at 2% cross fall =
m
(c) Calculate the elevation of the outer edge with respect to the centre line at 6% full superelevation = m
(d) Calculate the elevation of the inner and outer edge at L=0,10,20,40,SCm from TS.
\table[[\table[[Distance],[from TS]],0 m,10 m,20 m,40 m,],[\table[[Elevation],[of the],[outer],[edge (m)]],,,,,],[\table[[Elevation],[of the],[inner],[edge (m)]],,,,,]]
(Hint: draw a superelevation development diagram)
