Course Name: Transportation and Highway Design1 Course Code: CBE319

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Ahmed El-Desouky

Sheet 2
Question 1:
A horizontal curve is to be designed, what are your recommendations if all sight
distances are not covered by the design parameters?

Question 2:
An existing horizontal curve on a highway has a radius of 80 m which restricts the
maximum speed on this section to only 60% of the design speed of the highway. If the
curve is to be improved so that the maximum speed will be as that of the design speed
of the highway, determine the minimum radius of the new curve. Assume the
coefficient of side friction is 0.15 and the rate of superelevation is 0.08 for both the
existing curve and the new curve to be designed.

Question 3:
The radius of a horizontal curve on an existing highway is 250 m. the superelevation
rate at the curve is 0.08 and the posted speed limit on the road is 100 km/h. is this a
hazardous location? If so, why? What action will you recommend to correct the
situation?

Question 4:
Design a horizontal curve for a two-lane highway (Ls should be determined to the
nearest meter) if: design speed = 80 km/hr, side coefficient of friction = 0.14,
superelevation = 5%, normal crown = 1.5%, lane width = 3.75 m, deflection angle =
39 degree, and station of PI is (28+008.41).

Question 5:
A horizontal curve is to be designed for a P.I at station (100+000), deflection angle of
15 degrees. The highway is two-lane with lane width = 3.70 m and a design speed of
100 km/hr. Design the curve
