GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HORIZONTAL CURVES
R (ruling) = V2/127(e+f)
V=Ruling Design Speed, Kmph =20
e=Rate of super elevation; the max value of e is taken as 0.07
f= Design value of transverse skid resistance or coefficient of friction=0.18
R (ruling) =V2/127(e+f)
= 20 x 20
=12.59 meters
127x (0.07+0.18)
Since the R(ruling) is less than proposed Curve Radii at various curves ,the curve is safe.
Extra Psychological Widening will be provided at curve sites @0.60M to 1.25M as per IRC Specifications.
