For both railway types, grade separation of road/rail vehicles is being proposed at Broad Oak Dr. 2 alternative options are being considered, namely: Road under rail. Railway levels generally retained as is and the road level lowered beneath the railway Rail over road. Road levels generally retained as is and the rail level raised over the road 7. For both options document the relative high level feasibility of each option a. As a minimum document the advantages / disadvantages for each option

The following table shows the stations and ordinates for a mass diagram. The free-haul distance is 600 ft. Overhaul cost is $12 per station yard. (a) Use the method of moments to compute the additional cost that must be paid to the contractor. (b) Sketch the ground profile if the finished grade of this roadway section is level (0 percent).
The City of Gainesville and FDOT, in an attempt to proactively address the growing need for capacity in the western area of Gainesville, has identified a potential alignment for a new freeway to UF campus. The FDOT district has contracted you to design this new freeway and identify any additional concerns with this potential freeway. Note that this is an open question, and you may need to make the following assumptions during your work: Lane width (e.g., 12 ft. or 11 ft) Shoulder width (e.g., 6 ft.) Interchange density (e.g., 1 interchange/2 miles) Number of lanes (e.g., 3 or 2 lanes each direction) Hourly volume V= * D*AADT (e.g., =10%, directional distribution D=50%) A design structural number (e.g., SN= 5.0) The following traffic characteristics are expected on this freeway: AADT=30,000 veh PHF=0.95 85% passenger cars Two 2-kip single axles 7% RVs One 10-kip single axle One 24-kip tandem axle 5% single-unit trucks One 12-kip single axle Two 32-kip tandem axles 3% tractor-trailer…
Look or research for a highway that has a superelevation. Provide the location(International or local) and if possible include the specifications of the said highway. Provide at least 3 examples.
Identify and briefly discuss at least 3 risks that may be associated with this project. Highway 410/Steeles Road Project- Highway 410 currently has 4 lanes of traffic in each direction, i.e., northbound and southbound, with a 12-ft median between the northbound and southbound lanes- Steeles Road has 3 lanes of traffic in each direction, i.e., eastbound and westbound, with 4-ft median between the eastbound and westbound lanes- For this project the requirement is to: Build two off-ramps from Highway 410 to Steeles Road to, i.e., eastbound and westbound ramps Build two on-ramps from Steeles Road to Highway 410, i.e., northbound and southbound ramps Build a bridge overpass on Highway 410 over Steeles Road

In a site balancing project, the total haul distance starts from Sta. 2+720 and ends in Sta. 4+450. The freehaul distance starts 430 m. away from the starting station of the total haul distance and ends before the total haul distance which is also at a distance of 430 m. a. Get the total haul distance b. Locate the starting and end stations of the free haul distance c. Get the overhaul distance. d. Get the freehaul volume if it is estimated that the overhaul is approximately 5264 m3-m. . e. Sketch the mass diagram based on the given.
