e=V2/gr.

So, I think all option is true. But, e is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the vehicle.

e=tan (θ) = opp/adj = h/b = central rise/width.

So super elevation is inversely proportional to width of pavement. But they have given as directly prop. So the answer is A.

e+f = (0.278V)'2/9.8R.

So, option A is correct.

Super elevation is inversely proportional to the radius.

E!=e B where e is the super-elevation.

Super elevation doesn't depends on road width, The E value (height of outer edge of road at super-elevation) depends upon e (rate of super-elevation).

Guys. Question is actually trick you. B is Right.
E=eB.
e=v*v/gR.

SO,
E=v*v*B/gR.

From the final equation.
E directly proportion to width, the square of the velocity and, inversely proportional to the g and R.

here, superelevation does not directly proportional to the velocity of vehicles, but the only square of the velocity.

SO, answer B IS RIGHT.

e=v^2/Rg so directly proportional to the square of thè velocity.

How?

Dinesh Sinha said:   4 years ago
Option A will be the answer.

Because, super elevation (e) = tan(theta)= Tangent/Base.
So, if base ie. The width will increase then Tangent ie. The rise of the outer edge will be increased to maintain as tan (theta). After that theta (angle of inclination) will be the same.
So, e= tan theta dependable on theta and not dependable on the width

Superelevation is directly proportional to velocity of the vehicle because for particular curve on the road radius of curve remains constant for that curve.
