Total super elevation E= e * W.

Subeer kumar said:   9 years ago
Superelevation is directly proportional to velocity of the vehicle because for particular curve on the road radius of curve remains constant for that curve.

Pakeeza Jhan said:   9 years ago
Super-elevation = v^2/2r.

Hence, it should be directly proportional to square root of velocity and inversely proportional to the radius of curvature.

Snehal said:   9 years ago
e is the rate of superelevation.

h = e * B is the super elevation (which is proportional to width).

Bhagchad Golhani said:   9 years ago
e is directly proportional to v^2 and also inversely proportional to R.

No @Mr. Prasanna,

Total super elevation = e*W.

Where e - rate of SE.

W - Width of pavement.

e = WV^2/gR.
V^2 is direct proportional.

Prasanna said:   1 decade ago
I think answer should be option (a), because question asking for incorrect statement.

Bharathi said:   1 decade ago
Super elevation is directly proportional to the square of the velocity and inversely proportional to the acceleration due to gravity, radius of the curvature.

Bcr said:   1 decade ago
e+f=(v*v)/gR
So directly prop to v.

Indirectly prop to radius and gravity.
Hence option A would be the answer.
