1) For the comfortable travel on highway the centrifugal ratio shouldnot excced 0.25.
The value of absolute minimum radius of horizontal curve on a national
highway in plain terrain will be _______ m.
[Consider minimum design speed as 80 kmph]
A
202
B
120
C
265
D
229
The correct option is D 229
Absolute minimum radius,
Rmin=V2127(e+f)
where, V = 80 km/hr (For NH in plain terrain)
e = 0.07, f = 0.15 (As per IRC)
∴Rmin=(80)2127(0.07+0.15)=229.06m

On a pavement with parabolic camber, the angle of inclination of the vehicles will be
a.more at the crown
b.less at the edges
c.more at the edges
d.same at the edges as well as at the crown
Explanation:
On a pavement with parabolic camber, the surface slopes down from the center (crown) toward
the edges. The camber is designed to help drain water off the road. Since the slope increases
towards the edges in a parabolic shape, the angle of inclination of vehicles will be steeper near
the edges compared to the crown.
At the crown, the slope is minimal or zero.
At the edges, the slope is maximum due to the curvature of the parabolic camber.
Hence, the vehicle's angle of inclination will be more at the edges.
