Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A road has a curve with a radius of 100 m. What is the minimum super-elevation needed for a design speed of 20 m/sec? Assume g = 9.81 m/sec².

💡 Hint: Make sure to use the right units when calculating.

Question 2

Evaluate what may happen if a highway is designed without accounting for terrain type. Discuss the potential safety hazards.

💡 Hint: Think about the consequences of poor design due to lack of consideration for environmental factors.
