1 in 40
1 in 50
1 in 60
1 in 70
none of these.

Well,

We Have,
R=1000m
V= 75Km/h
Required?
Superelevation(e)
e=v^2/225R
= 75^2/225(1000)
=1/40 is the Correct one.

Design speed is given use: e = (0.75v)^2/gR.

In a question if they are given only speed then use: e = v^2/gR.

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.

Why we take 1000 as R why don't we take it as the length of the curve? Could anybody please explain me this?

Reshma said:   1 decade ago
We have to design for 75% speed means super elevation for mixed traffic.

So,
e = (0.75V)^2/gR = V^2/225R.

F is not gives that doesn't mean we will not use 127 Maximum times we use 127 for already designed roads.

Why is everyone assuming R=1000?

I think the curve length is 1000, not R. And the angle is not given.

Muleta Totoba said:   1 decade ago
Right it is not declared but the term curve seems something to be the given figure 1000 is the radius.

Deepak mittal said:   1 decade ago
No it should not be v^2/127r. If the value of f then you can take the v^2/127r. Otherwise V^2/225R.

But there speed in kilometer and horigental curve in meter so how it is possible? Please explain.
