Given:
The information shown in Figures 1 and 2, along with the data provided below, should
be used to establish the horizontal alignment and vertical profile:
Design speed: 60mph(for entire alignment)
Setting: Rural
Normal crown cross-slope: 2%(high point at roadway centerline)
Maximum rate of superelevation: 8%
Cross-section: Two-travel lanes (one in each direction) @ 12 feet wide
Find:
a. Length of superelevation transition (tangent runout plus superelevation runoff)
for horizontal curve #1.
b. Draw the superelevation transition profile (show transition at the beginning and
end of the curve [PC and PT stations should be shown on profile plot]) for
horizontal curve #1. The axis of rotation for the tangent-to-curve transition is the
centerline of the roadway.
c. Draw cross-sections (including stations) at the beginning of the superelevation
transition, removal of adverse crown, uniform cross-slope, and location where
full superelevation is first attained for horizontal curve #1. Show cross-sections
for both ends of transition (PC and PT ends of curve), including the elevation
data. The minimum length of vertical curve, based on the design speed, should
be used for the elevation computations.
Given: The information shown in Figures 1 and 2 ,
