Concept explainers

Volumes

Volume usually is the dimensional quantity that involves the evaluation of any three-dimensional figure enfolded inside a closed space. The SI unit (International System of Units) of volume is m3 and the dimensional unit of volume is [L3]. For estimation of the volume of any figure, various formulae are used. Another application of volume includes the reference in the sound levels, the higher the sound intensity, the louder the sound heard, and hence, the larger the volume. The SI unit of sound volume is decibels (dB).

The design speed of a highway is 80 km/h. There is a horizontal curve of radius 200 m in a certain locality. What should be the superelevation required to maintain this design speed? If the maximum superelevation of 0-07 is not to be exceeded, what should be the maximum allowable speed on this curve ? Also determine the extra widening required and length of transition curve using the following data: Length of wheel base of the largest vehicle = 6-1 m Pavement width=7-2 m Number of lanes = 2 Rate of introduction of superelevation = 1 in 200 Type of terrain Plain Safe limit of coefficient of friction = 0.15

Problem 5 An existing horizontal curve on a highway has a radius of 465 ft, which restricts the posted speed limit to only 61.5% of the design speed on this section of the highway. If the curve is to be improved, so that its posted speed will be the design speed of the highway, determine the minimum radius of the new curve. Assume that the rate of superelevation is 0.08 for both the existing curve and the new curve to be designed and f,=0.16 for 40 mph, 0.14 for 50 mph, 0.12 for 60 mph, and 0.10 for 70 mph.
