Question 1

What is the maximum value of centrifugal force (in tonnes) to avoid overturning of a vehicle of weight 8 tonnes, height of vehicle is 2.4m and distance between tyres in opposite direction is 2.2m?

Question 2

In a heavy rainfall region with WBM pavement, 3.8m major district road is to be constructed. Then the height of the crown with respect to the edges is _____mm. (up to 2 decimal place)

Question 3

A road embankment 10 m wide at the formation level, with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical and with an average height of 5 m is constructed with an average gradient 1 in 40 from contour 220 metres to 280 metres. Find the volume of earth work.

Question 4

Determine the total width of a 2 lane pavement (without raised kerbs) on a horizontal curve for a new state highway to be aligned along plain terrain with ruling minimum radius for the following data:
Ruling design speed = 100 kmph
Maximum value of super-elevation = 0.07
& skid resistance = 0.15

Question 5

A 7.5 m wide two-lane road on a plain terrain is to be laid along a horizontal curve of radius 510 m. For a design speed of 100 kmph, super-elevation is provided as per IRC : 73-Consider acceleration due to gravity as

The level difference between the inner and outer edges of the road (in m, up to three decimal places) is __________

Question 6

The maximum permissible speed on a horizontal curve of radius 130 m on a highway designed for a speed of 62 kmph to carry mixed traffic is _________ kmph.
[Assume super elevation is not to exceed 7 percent and maximum permissible value of coefficient of lateral friction, f = 0.15]
