e = v^2/225R is the correct formula.

75*75/(225*1000) = 75/(3*1000) = 25/1000 = 5/200 = 1/40.

Superelevation is always.

e+f=v^2/127R.

But for the design of the superelevation we take,

e=V^2/225R.

So, Here velocity 75 kmph and horizontal curve 1000 meter given.

That means it is the radius of the horizontal curve.

Note:- Horizontal curve always given in the form of the radius.

Put these values to find the horizontal curve,

e = 75^2 / (225*1000).

e = 1/40.

Thank you.

If mixed traffic or maximum value was mentioned then it has to be e + f = V2/225R. Otherwise for design purpose e + f = V2/127R.

e=V2/225R when V in KMPH,
e=v2/127R-f ,if f is given,
and v in m/s,other wise e=v2/127R if f is not given.

v^2/225R.
= 75 x 75/227 x 1000.
= 0.025.
=1in40.

Given data,

Speed = 75 kmp = 75*5/18 m/s = 20.83333333 m/s.
75% speed is the designed speed. So, 75% speed=20.83333333*0.75 m/s =15.625 m/s
Radius of curvature = 1000m.

Here 'g' is the gravitational acceleration and the value of 'g' is 9.8 m/s.

Formula of super elevation is (V2/gR) =(15.625*15.625/(9.8*1000)) =0.024912309%
0.024912309% of Super elevation means 1 in 40.1408.
So, the answer is 1 in 40 is correct.

@All.

With this formula V2/225R for supper elevation where V is 75kmph and R is 1000m. How do I get 1 in 40 if after dividing I'm getting 0.025? Please explain me.
