Q1. A horizontal curve is designed for a two-lane road in a level terrain. The following data are known:
Central angle (A):50 degrees
Design speed of 80kmh
Side friction factor =0.12
Superelevation =0.08
Lane width =3.60m
Normal crown slope =2%
Draw 3 neat and well labelled sketches of the roadway cross sections overlaying the normal
crown on the fully superelevated section; as discussed in class, for the following 3 scenarios:
a) Rotation about the road centreline
b) Rotation about the inside edge of pavement
c) Rotation about the outside edge of pavement
Discuss the impact of each method of rotation on drainage and amount of earthwork.
