Question 13
As shown in the figure below, a horizontal alignment consists of two tangent lines
smoothened by a horizontal curve. A 4% superelevation rate is designed for the horizontal
curve and the superelevation runoff length is 291 feet. The normal cross-section is shown
in the figure below, where both left and right sections have 2% slopes for drainage.
Calculate the tangent runout length.
