Question 6

A bench mark has been established at the soffit of an ornamental arch at the known elevation of 100.0 m above mean sea level. The back sight used to establish height of instrument is an inverted staff reading of 2.105 m. A forward sight reading with normally held staff of 1.105 m is taken on a recently constructed plinth. The elevation of the plinth is

Question 7

At a horizontal curve portion of a 4 lane undivided carriageway, a transition curve is to be introduced to attain required superelevation. The design speed is 60 kmph and radius of the curve is 245 m. Assume length of wheel base of a longest vehicle as 6 m, superelevation rate as 5% and rate of introduction of this superelevation as 1 in 150. The length of the transition curve (m) required, if the pavement is rotated about inner edge is
