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

When shall we need to consider the speed in terms of metres per second? Please explain to me.

Manoj kumawat said:   1 decade ago
According IRC : The super-elevation is calculated for 75% of design speed.

So e = V^2/225R.

Yash said:   7 years ago
Already design speed is given, then why it converted again to design speed? Please tell me.

Arjun said:   6 years ago
Design superelevation is always taken as 75% of the Design Speed hence it is e = v^2/225R.

Anupama patra said:   4 years ago
I think the superelevation is v^2/127R and this question not mention the radius are 1000.

Osi said:   9 years ago
But we have studied it in the formula = v^2/126R. I am confusing which one is correct.

IES AKP said:   10 years ago
1000 m is radius, it can't be length because there is no relation to provide length.

Mahesh said:   4 years ago
Here they have not given lateral friction, so we can take as e = V2/225*R.

Jayrajsinh said:   9 years ago
Practically super elevation e = v^2/225R.

So answer 1 in 40 is correct.

Jeet said:   6 years ago
Super elevation = V^2 / 225 R.

= 75x75 / 225x1000.

= 0.025 = 1 in 40.
