e = v^2/225R.
V in kmph, R in mtrs.
75×75/225 × 1000 = 1/40.

Concept:

The superelevation is given by:

e = (V ^ 2)/(225R) Where,
V = speed (in kmph), and R = Radius (in m).

Calculation:

Given: V = 75 kmph, and R = 1000m,
e = ((75) ^ 2)/(225 * 1000) = 1/40.

So, the super elevation is 1/40.

e= v*v/(225 R).
=75*75/(225* 1000)
= 1/40.

0.025= 25/1000 = 1/40.

Given data :

R = 1000 m
V = 75 kmph=75x(1000/3600)=20.83m/s
e = (0.75xv'2/gr)
= ((0.75x20.83)'2/(9.81x1000))
= 0.025 = 1 in 40.

How and when to use v2/127R and v2/225R?

Please explain me in detail.

= 0.025 = 1 in 40.

Given Option is wrong.

According to 1st, we have to convert the speed in m/s.
Then the e = v2/127r and e = v2/225r is for mix traffic.

Actually, E =v^2/ (225R) is for Design purposes, considering 75% of the design speed.

The correct equation for calculating the superelevation should be e=V^2/ (127R).

I need clarity on super elevation, how do they arrive at 225, 227 if e+f=v2/gr. I need steps by steps calculations.

Anyone, please explain to me.

The value of super elevation is calculated for 75 % of the design speed.
So, e=[(0.75V)^2]/[g*R].
put v = 75*1000/3600 = 20.83 m/s.
R=1000.
g=9.81 we get,
e=0.024 i.e. 1 in 40.
