Problem # 1
Design a horizontal curve with superelevation.
Given:
Design speed =75mph
f=0.08396
Degree of curve =2.5
=30
2% normal cross slope
Two-lane Highway (one lane rotated)- Category 1 in Table 15-11(see handout or book).
PC=20+00
(a) Use both the methods of horizontal curve setting for setting out the curve.
(b) Find the superelevation transition (23 attainment in the tangent and 13 in the curve) stations where left lane begins transition, left lane crosses 0 percent, right lane begins transition, lanes attain full superelevation and for the transitions out.
Find e for stations 18+00 and 19+00.
Find stations where e is 7%.
Present Tables for (a).
Draw sketches as shown in the class example for (b).
