- A crest vertical curve is to be designed to join a +3% grade with a -2% grade at a section of a two-lane highway. Determine the minimum lenght of the curve if the design speed of the highway is 96km/h, S<L, and a perception-reaction time of 2.5 sec. The deceleration rate for braking (a) is 3.41 m/s2An equal-tangent vertical curve connects a -2.1% and a +3.6% grade. The low point of the curve is at elevation 278.9 ft. If the PVI is at elevation 275 ft, what is the design speed of the curve? Provide your answer in units of mi/h with step 5 mi/h (e.g., 15, 20, etc.). Design conservatively.A vertical curve is needed to join to tangents; G1=2% and G2=5%. Assuming the worst case scenario for braking, and the AASHTO recommended values for deceleration and perception-reaction time, calculate the minimum length of curve (ft) needed to satisfy the safety criteria. The design speed is 50 mph.
- A vertical curve is needed to join to tangents; G1=1% and G2=4%. Assuming a level grade (0%) for braking, and the AASHTO recommended values for deceleration and perception-reaction time, calculate the minimum length of curve (ft) needed to satisfy the safety criteria. The design speed is 60 mph.A curve of 100 m radius (e=8.0 % and fs=0.14) is located at a section of an existing rural highway which restricts the safe speed to 55 % of the design speed causing a high accident rate. To reduce the accident rate, a new curve is to be designed. Determine the minimum radius of this curve if the safe speed should be increased to the design speed. Assume the same values of e and fs.A tow truck is searching a city street at 40 mi/h for illegally parked vehicles. It travels over an equal tangent vertical curve with an initial grade of +4.0% and final grade of -2.0%. If the height of the driver's eye is 6.0 ft and the driver spots a car 450 ft away with a height of 4.0 ft, what is the minimum length of the vertical curve for this situation?
- Determine the minimum radius of a horizontal curve required for a highway if the design speed is 70 mi/h and the superelevation rate is 0.08.A horizontal curve on a two-lane highway is designed with a 610-m radius, 3.5-m lanes, and 80 kph design speed. Determine the distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inner lane to provide sufficient stopping sight distance. (Note: Curve radius is typically reckoned from the centerline of the roadway, and driver location is assumed to be at the middle of the travelled lane.) Assume coefficient of friction as 0.35. ANSWER M =4.0 ?Two vertical parabolic curves have been connected to form a roadway by three gradients: -5.30 %, 4.10 % and -3.70 % respectively. If the length of the second curve is twice as the length of the first curve, compute the following: a. The length of the second curve in ft given that the design speed of the first curve is 80 kph assuming a vertical radial acceleration of 0.3m/s2 for comfort criterion. b. The length of the second curve in m if the headlight height of the vehicle is 0.73 m above the first curve and the inclined upward angle of the headlight beam relative to the horizontal plane of the vehicle is 1.57% The design speed for the first curve for this situation is 90 kph. c. The length of the first curve in yard if the total length of the roadway is 7451 m given that the second curve has a design speed of 70 kph for passing sight distance with the driver's eye height assumed to be 1.5 m and object height of 0.33 m. d.The total length of the roadway in km if a bridge…
- Highway Engineering: You are designing a highway to AASHTO guidelines on rolling terrain where the design speed will be 65 mi/h. At one section, a +1.25% grade and a -2.25% grade must be connected with an equal-tangent vertical curve. Determine the SSD given the reaction time of 2.5 sec and deceleration of 3.4 m/s^2. Determine also the minimum length of curve.An equal-tangent vertical curve was designed in 2000 for a design speed of 70 mi/h to connect grades G1 = +1% and G2 = -2%. The curve is to be redesigned for a 70-mi/h design speed in the year 2020. Vehicle braking technology has advanced so that the recommended design deceleration rate is 25% greater than the 2000, but due to the higher percentage of older persons in the driving population, design reaction times have increased by 20%. Compute the difference in design curve lengths for the 2000 and 2020 designs.A vertical curve is going to be designed to join a 0% grade with a +5% grade at a section of a highway. The station and elevation of the PVC point are 5+00 and 12 ft, respectively. Assuming AASHTO design standard values for perception-reaction time, deceleration rate for braking, and driver’s eye and object heights, determine the following: 1. The min length of the curve if the design speed is 65 mi/h. 2. The station and elevation of the PVT. 3. The station and elevation of the high or low point. 4. The elevation of the point at station 6+50.
