Highway Engineering Assignment

The document contains information about various maps for the province of Bulacan, Philippines. It discusses highways that traverse the province from north to south and connect major towns. It also mentions drainage systems to prevent flash floods, a housing map near Lipa City with proximity to hospitals and schools, a comprehensive land use and zoning plan, and an assessed property map showing property values per square meter in Negros Oriental. It then defines the differences between a right angle bridge and a skewed bridge, noting that a skewed bridge is more expensive to design and construct due to horizontal and vertical curvature challenges.

ASSIGNMENT 1. Obtain and explain the followng maps that are plotted with the aid of phtotgraphs and computer record data. A. HIGHWAYS

The MacArthur Highway traverses the province from north to south. Most major towns can be reached through the North Luzon Expressway. A good number of motor vehicles owned largely by private individuals provide mobility to Bulacans populace. Aside from five main highways that traverse the province, all roads are widely dispersed throughout Bulacan. Bus terminals of Baliuag Transit, California Bus Line, Sampaguita Liner and Royal Eagle are in Baliuag, Balagtas and Hagonoy. The main bus lines of Philippine Rabbit, Victory Liner, Aladdin Transit that originate from their main terminals in Manila, Pasay and Quezon City and travel northward to cities and towns in Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, pass through Bulacan via the Tabang exit.

2. What are the differences between right angle bridge and skewed bridge? Answer: A skewed bridge is a bridge for which the deck in plan is a parallelogram. Generally, if the centerlines of bearing intersect the longitudinal centerlines at an oblique angle (an angle other than a right angle), the bridge is said to be skewed or built on a skew. Otherwise, the bridge is called a right angle bridge. If the centerlines of bearing intersect the longitudinal centerlines at right angles, there is no skew. Their main difference is that a skewed bridge is more expensive than the right angle bridge because the design is of horizontal and vertical curvature into a large bridge presents a serious design and construction problems although the finished product may result to a better roadway.
