Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.

Please USE 3.0 instead of 2.5 for the rolling terrain. Thanks! 6.20 A divided multilane highway in a recreational area has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 10-ft lanes with a 6-ft right-side shoulder and a 3-ft left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 50 mi/h. Previously, there were 4 access points per mile, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 12 per mile. Before development, the peak- hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2200 vehicles with 13% heavy vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 2600 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development?

For four-lane highway the allowable widening is multiplied by 2.0. A True B) False
A curve of radius 250 ft and e 0.08 is located at a section of an existing rural highway, which restricts the safe speed at this section of the highway to 50% of the design speed. This drastic reduction of safe speed resulted in a high crash rate at this section. To reduce the crash rate, a new alignment is to be designed with a horizontal curve. Determine the minimum radius of this curve if the safe speed should be increased to the design speed of the highway. Assume fs= 0.17 for the existing curve, and the new curve is to be designed with e = 0.08
