Module 4
BSCE-3A
LET’S TRY THIS!

1. A roadway is being designed for a speed of 70 mi/h. At one horizontal curve, it is known that the
superelevation is 8.0% and the coefficient of side friction is 0.10. Determine the minimum radius of curve
(measured to the traveled path) that will provide for safe vehicle operation.

2. An equal-tangent vertical curve is to be constructed between grades of 2.0% (initial) and +1.0% (final).
The PVI is at station 110 + 00 and at elevation 420 ft. Due to a street crossing the roadway, the elevation
of the roadway at station 112 + 00 must be at 424.5 ft. Design the curve.
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?

1. Given two intersecting streets of 30 meters between curbs having an azimuth 25° and 270°. The two
streetcar rails are to be laid so that their center lines coincide with the center line of each street and on
such radius that the center of track will clear the face of a 4.5-meter radius curve at least 6.6 meters.
Determine the maximum radius of the curve.

2. The long chord of a compound curve is 425 meters long and the angles that it makes with tangents of
the curve are 20° and 24° respectively. Find the radius R1 and R2 of the compound curve if the common
tangent is parallel to the long chord.
3. Two tangents intersect at an angle of 46°40’ are to be connected by a reversed curved. The tangent
distance from the point of intersection of the tangents to the P.T. of the reversed curve is 48.60 meters.
The bearing of the back tangent is S 43° 20’ W. If the radius of the curve through the P.C. is 240 meters,
determine the radius of the other branch of the curve. The distance from the point of intersection of
tangents to the P.C. of the reversed curve is 360.43 meters.
4. A descending grade of 4.2% grade intersect an ascending grade of 3% at Station 11+488.00 of elevations
20.80 meters. These two center grade-lines are to be connected by a 260 meter vertical parabolic curve.
At what station is the cross-drainage pipes be situated? If the overall outside dimension of the R.C. pipes
to be installed is 95 cm and the top of the culvert is 30 cm below the sub-grade, what will be the invert
elevation at the center?
5. An unsymmetrical parabola curve has a forward tangent of -8% and a backward tangent of +5%. The
length of the curve on the left side of the curve is 40 meters long while that of the right side is 60 meters
long. At Station 66+780 and at elevation 110 meters. Determine the height of fill at the outcrop. Also,
determine the elevation of curve at Sta. 6+820.
6. A grade ascending at the rate of 5% meets another grade descending at the rate of 4% at the vertex of
elevation 20 m. and stationing 5+000. Solve for the stationing and elevation of the summit of the vertical
parabolic curve which will connect the grade lines for a safe sight distance of 150 m., the height of the
eyes of the drivers above the pavement at each end of the sight distance being 1.5 meters.
7. A spiral 80 meter long connects a tangent with a 6°30’ circular curve. If the stationing of the T.S. is
10+000, and the gauge of the tract on the curve is 1.5 m., determine the following: a. The elevation of the
outer rail at the mid-point, if the velocity of the fastest train to pass over the curve is 60 kph. b. The spiral
angle at the first quarter point. c. The deflection angle at the end point. d. The offset from the tangent at
the second quarter point.
8. From the following cross-section notes, compute the corrected volumes of cut and fill, the road bed
being 6 m. wide in cut and 4.8 m. in fill. The side slope for both cut and fill is 1:1.
