Right it is not declared but the term curve seems something to be the given figure 1000 is the radius.

But it is not declared that 1000 m is the radius of the curve.

Actually, in the problem, it shows that horizontal curve is 1000m but in explanation, they take 1000m as a radius why don't they take it as length of the curve?

e = V^2/225R.

= 75 * 75/(225*1000).

= 1/40 (or).

= 1 in 40.

Why 75% is taken for design speed?

Yamir said:   8 years ago
F is not gives that doesn't mean we will not use 127 Maximum times we use 127 for already designed roads.

Harveer singh said:   8 years ago
1 in 40 is the right answer.

V^2/125r ( f is not given).

Rajesh kumar saini said:   8 years ago
1/40 is the right answer.

Sameer naik said:   8 years ago
Why used 75% in que not mention mixed traffic?

Babugouda said:   8 years ago
Here,

e = v2/gr when v is in m/s.
e = v2 /127r when v is in kmph.
