Type of road surface --------> Range of camber.

1. High bituminous and cement surface --------------> 1 in 50 to 1 in 60.
2. Thin bituminous surfaces -------> 1 in 40 to 1 in 50.
3. WBM -----------------------> 1 in 33 to 1 in 40.

What does this 1 in 160 to 1 in 140 means?

As per IRC recommendation, it should be 1 in 50 to 1 in 60.
Augustine Ar-ef said:   7 years ago
As per IRC, it should be 1:60 to 1:72.
So, none of these is the correct answer.
