Design speed (kmph) : 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110.

Radius in (meter): 40 70 100 150 200 260 320 400 440.

R min= V * V/127(e+F).
= 60 * 60/ 127(0.07+0.15),
= 128.8.

May be the correct answer 131m.

Option D None of above.

The compensate gradients is 4 degree for, so the radius will be 60 x 4 = 120m.

0.07 for plain and rolling.
0.10 for the hilly area.
0.04 for urban roads and frequent intersections.

Bazid said:   6 years ago
For hilly road e = 0.10.
For plain e = 0.07 and the value of friction for cross slope f = 0.15.

You cannot use (e + f) = v^2/127R. It is for super-elevated curves not for horizontal curves.

Can we use e=(0.75V)*2/gr this formula?
r = (0.75*16.67) * 2/9.81 * 0.07,
r = 227.62.

Value of radius (R) =226m correct answer. So option (D) right.

V = √ 27.94 R.

Underroot of (27.94 multiply by 27.94)

Guys can you tell me where we have to use 127 and where 225?
