e = v^2/(127R) this formulas use.

And get the super elevation.

ANS (A).

e = V^2/225R.
e = 0.025 = 1 in 40.

Guys can you please tell me the density of GSB, WMM, DBM and also BC?

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.

According IRC : The super-elevation is calculated for 75% of design speed.

So e = V^2/225R.

Shankar Meghwar said:   1 decade ago
R = V^2/225(e+fs).

Consider coefficient of friction as fs = 0.

Therefore R = V^2/225 e.
OR
e = V^2/225 R.
= 75*75/(225*1000).
= 0.025.
OR
= 1 in 40.

We have to design for 75% speed.

So, e = (0.75v)^2/g.r;

v = 75kmph = 75/3.6 = 20.833.

e = (0.75*20.833)^2/(9.81*1000) = 0.02488.

1/40 = 0.025.

We have to design for 75% speed means super elevation for mixed traffic.

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

e = (0.75v)^2/Rg.

v in m/s.

Ans: 1 in 40.

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.
