Type of Pavement : Heavy Rain fall --------------- Light Rain Fall
high type Bituminous surface &CC : 1 in 50 --------------- 1 in 60.
Thin Bituminous Surface : 1 in 40 --------------- 1 in 50.
WMM, Gravel : 1 in 33 --------------- 1 in 40.
Earth Road : 1 in 25 --------------- 1 in 33.

CC/High Bituminous road - 1.7%(light rainfall), 2%(heavy rainfall).
Thin Bituminous road - 2%(light rainfall), 2.5(heavy rainfall).
WBM/gravel road - 2.5%(light rainfall), 3%(heavy rainfall).
Earthen raod - 3%(light rainfall), 4%(heavy rainfall).

In the hilly area where we can provide a minimum of 2.5% camber,& maximum of 10% camber.

Although 7% is max required for the road as per ISI. But in hill road, we can avoid as per position.

Type of road plain terrain hilly road.

1) For concrete & Thick bitumen road 2% 1.7%.

2) Thin bitumen 2.5 % 2%.

3) Wbm road 3% (3.3) 2.5%.

4) Earth road 4% 3%.

Range of camber for thin bitumen surface in hilly areas = 1 in 40 to 1 in 50.

Since it is hilly areas thus it should be 1in 40~2.5 percent.

Generally, for thin bituminous pavements, the minimum camber should be 2.5% to cater for drainage of the surface runoffs.

If the crown is provided then there would be tension in upper and concrete are weak in tension, the crack will produce.

Camber for the thin bituminous surface.

In high rainfall - 2.5% or 1 in 40.
In light rainfall -2% or 1 in 40.

I think this questions is incomplete because camber is also depend upon area of amount of rainfall.
