Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

Find the required superelevation for a curve with a radius of 200m at a design speed of 60 km/h.

💡 Hint: Use the formula e = (0.75v)^2 / gR.

Question 2 Easy

What is the maximum permissible superelevation in hilly terrain?

💡 Hint: Refer to IRC guidelines.

Question 1

What is the formula for calculating superelevation?

e = (0.75v)^2/(gR)
e = (0.9v)^2/(gR)
e = (0.5v)^2/(gR)

💡 Hint: Think of the parameters involved in lateral forces.

Question 2

True or False: The maximum permissible superelevation in urban areas is 7%.

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the IRC specs for different terrains.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a curve with a radius of 600m allowing a design speed of 100 km/h. Calculate superelevation and check all parameters.

💡 Hint: Check your calculations against the IRC maximum values.

Challenge 2 Hard

A two-lane road's outer edge needs to be raised. Given the radius is 500m, determine how much elevation is required if e is 0.06.

💡 Hint: Use the rotation method for elevation adjustments.
