Grade compensation = 30+r/r = 30+300/300 = 330/300 = 1.1,

Ruling gradient = 3%,

Maximum limit of grade compensation = 75/300 = 0.25,

So compensated gradient = 3-0.25 = 2.75.

According to IRC grade compensation is not necessary for gradients flatter than 3%.

GURDEEP SINGH said:   1 decade ago
According to irc grade compensation is not provided for gradients flatter than 4%.

According to IRC grade compensation is not necessary for gradients flatter than 3%.

According to IRC grade compensation is not necessary for gradients flatter than 4%. If it is necessary we can calculate it. By using compensation formula.

TANMOY SAHA said:   1 decade ago
According to irc grade compensation is not provided for gradients flatter than 4%.

So correct option will be E.

Surya said:   1 decade ago
As per IRC grade compaction is not provided for gradients flatter than 4%. E is the answer.

Dhawal said:   1 decade ago
This answer is absolutely wrong. Because as per IRC recommendation grade compensation is not required for gradient flatter than 4%.

Harsh said:   1 decade ago
No grade compensation is required is gradient is flatter than 4%.

In grade compensation also how the value 75 came in 75/300?
