Concept explainers

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.

A Class II two-lane highway needs to be redesigned for an area with rolling terrain. During the peak hour, 380 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 300 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction. The PHF is 0.92. The traffic stream includes 8% large trucks, 2% buses, and no recreational vehicles. What is the maximum percentage of no-passing zones that can be built into the design with LOS C maintained?

A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%. The freeway has 3.4-m lane, 1.5m left-shoulder lateral clearances and interchanges spaced at every 25 km. During the peak hour, there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, 2% recreational vehicles and the rest are passenger cars. Driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90, peak hour factor is 0.90 and the BFFS is 110 km/h. At present, the freeway operates at capacity during the peak hour in the direction in question. If an additional 3.4 m lane is introduced, and all other factors stay the same, what will be the new level of service?
