This is a report on highway engineering of 5-kilometer diversion road from Jumamil St. to
Tamblot Circumferential Road (Tagbilaran City)
The success of this report required the help of various individuals. Without them, we might not
meet our objectives in doing this report. We want to express our gratitude to the following
people for their invaluable help and support:
To God our Lord, for giving us wisdom, patience, strength, knowledge and support in
exploring things; for His guidance helped us to surpass all the trials that we have encountered
and for giving us the determination to pursue and make this report possible;
To our parents, for giving us eternal support and encouragement to push through with
our goals, for giving love and time for us, their children;
To our professor, Engr. H.E. Gozon, for the continuous support on our report, for her
patience, motivation, enthusiasm and immense knowledge;
And lastly, to the people who helped and contributed great ideas and advices, especially

Our group seeks to design a road project where we will find the most feasible
alternative proposed diversion road in one of Bohol’s popular road. The main purpose of this
study is to find out the route that will possibly decrease the traffic congestion in that area.
INTRODUCTION
Road transport is one of the most common mode of transport. Roads in the form of
trackways, human pathways etc. were used even from the pre-historic times. Since then
many experiments were going on to make the riding safe and comfort. Thus, road
construction became an inseparable part of many civilizations and empires.
Highways connects two or more places and ensures that industries, employment,
and development follows. Bridges, traffic lights, pavements, bike paths, and lane dividers
make up a safe highway. Modern highways are known for their high capacity, efficiency,
and planned construction. Highway networks are very important for the growth of a region.
Highways open new trade routes and almost every industrial region in the world is
connected to the major highway network system of that particular country.
PROFILE OF THE PROJECT LOCATION
Tagbilaran is a city in the Visayas group of islands in the Philippines. It is the
seat and component city of the island province of Bohol with a population of 105,051 as of
2015 census. In the 2016 electoral roll, it had 59,949 registered voters. Encompassing a
land area of 32.7 km2 (12.6 sq mi), with a coastline of 13 km (8.1 mi) on the southwestern
part of the island, the city shares its boundaries with the towns of Cortes, Corella,
and Baclayon.
Tagbilaran is the principal gateway to Bohol, 630 km (390 mi) southeast of the
national capital of Manila and 72 km (45 mi) south of the regional capital, Cebu City.
A hundred years before Spaniards arrived in the Philippines, the settlement which
eventually became Tagbilaran was already involved in trading with China and Malaya. This
early settlement had contact with the Spaniards in 1565, when the Spanish
conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi and the native chieftain Datu Sikatuna pledged
peace and cooperation through the famous blood compact.
The city was occupied by the United States during the Philippine-American War and
by Imperial Japan during World War II.
Sitio Ubos (Lower Town) is Tagbilaran's former harbor site and is considered to be
the city's oldest portion, having been a busy trading center since the seventeenth century
until the early twentieth century. As such, the place houses the oldest and largest number
of heritage houses in Bohol. Sitio Ubos declined as a major port towards the end of the
Spanish era when the causeway to Panglao Island was constructed. Since then, the area
lost its former glory and its old houses were either demolished or neglected.
In 2002, in recognition of its cultural and historic significance, Sitio Ubos was declared a
"Cultural Heritage Area". Some of the surviving heritage houses to this day include the
Rocha–Suarez House, Rocha House, Hontanosas House, Beldia House, and Yap House.
On that day, 16 March 1565, Legazpi with Fray Andres de Urdaneta and some of
his crew set foot on land for an audience with the local chieftain Sikatuna. The two bands of
different race and creed met a few hundred meters from the beach and, after a few
pleasantries, the Basque seafarer and the chieftain of Bohol sealed and strengthened their
treaty of friendship in a historic blood compact. Sikatuna and Legazpi each made a cut on
the left arm and collected the drop of blood into a single vessel mixed with wine. A marker
now stands on the spot where Sikatuna and Legaspi allegedly sealed that famous compact.
To honor this treaty of friendship, president Elpidio Quirino established the "Order of
Sikatuna" in 1953, a presidential award and decoration conferred upon visiting dignitaries.
The proposed 5.00 km diversion road project is located at Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
The road begins at Bohol Circumferential Road merging along Tagblaran North Road to
Carlos P. Garcia Ave.,The Circumferential Road starts Manga Tagbilaran Terminal along
Tagbilaran North Road. The street "Tagbilaran North Road" is located in the west of
Maribojoc with the zip code of 6336. It is about 32,767 meters long. For many years, little has
been known of the City of Tagbilaran that nestles on a sea, protected from the southwest
monsoon by the island of Panglao and from the cold stream of the north wind by the Maribojoc
mountain range.
Tagbilaran was then part of the town of Baclayon until on February 9, 1742, when
Governor-General Gaspar dela Torre signed a decree separating her from Baclayon and
establishing the town of San Jose de Tagbilaran.
From then on, this once unheralded town has been under the mantle of the Province
of Bohol until it became a Chartered City on July 1, 1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4660.
The neighboring streets and municipalities that are benefited and will be covered by
the proposed road are the following:
Airport Road
Benigno Aquino Avenue
Pamaong Street
Calceta Street
Lamdagan Street
San Jose Street
Belderol Street
Graham Avenue
Espuelas Street
Tinago - Mariveles road
RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY
The team wishes to reduce the congestion of traffic in the area and to reduce the
vehicular accidents cause by the intersection in the middle of the town and the bus terminal
in the town proper and the improper parking of the vehicles in the area, the purposed of the
proposed project is to improve the level of service for through traffic by increasing the average
speed on the relocated highway, and secondary reason is for the easy transport of goods
and services from another place by not passing the main town
This proposed 5.0 km diversion road connected from Bohol Circumferential Road,
Bohol, Philippines and ends at Maria Clara,Tagbilaran North Ave., Bohol, Philippines will
have to travel 13m less than the normal distance of 8km and will have a lesser travel time of
1 minutes. This is computed without any hazards or deceleration occurring. The terrain in
this area is in normal to moderate since it is already too far away from the feet of the mountain
ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE
Alternative 1
Vehicles that are going to pass by this diversion road will save a travel time of 3
minutes. It is also safer for the users to use this route since this is a low to moderate terrain
and it has only limited curves for a smoother driving.
Alternative 2
Vehicles that are going to pass by this diversion road will save a travel time
of 3 minutes. For high speed highways, it is not advisable to travel within different height of
terrain for it may cause accident and damage to the vehicle. It has also many curves and
may cause dizziness to the passenger and to the driver.
Choice of Alternative
From the cost point of view, our project team would select the alternative 1 route,
since it results for a safer travel than alternative 2. In designing a highway, it is a must that
the builders would consider the health and safety of the road users always. Cost wise,
alternative 1 is cheaper than alternative 2 since it has a lesser curve and moderate terrain.
Therefore alternative 1 route is the design of the diversion road.
DESIGN ANALYSIS
Geometric design deals with the dimensioning of the element of highway such as
vertical and horizontal curves, cross sections, truck climbing lanes and parking facilities for
example, the length of vertical curves or radii of curves are determined to assure that the
minimum stopping sight distance is provided to highway users for the design speed of the
highway facility, an objective that only can be achieved by producing a constant design
standard that satisfies the characteristics of the driver and the vehicles that use the road,
the American Association of the State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
serves a critical function in developing guidelines and standards used in highway geometric
design, the principles and theories used in the design of horizontal and vertical alignments
are presented together with the current standards used for geometric design. As
recommended by AASHTO. Design principles and standards are also linked to the
characteristics of the driver, pedestrians, vehicle and road, selection of the appropriate set
geometric design standards can be used for all highways, for example, geometric
standards that may be suitable for scenic mountain road with low average of daily traffic are
inadequate for a freeway carrying a heavy traffics. The characteristics of the highway
should therefore be considered in selecting the geometric design.
The design speed for flat terrain is 45 km/hr for 0 – 250 vehicles per day, 60 km/hr
for 250 – 400 vehicles per day, and 75 km/hr for vehicles ranging from 400 and above.
Design speed for rolling terrain is 30 km/hr for 0 -50 vehicles per day, 45 km/hr for 50 – 400
vehicles per day, and 60 km/hr for the number of vehicles ranging from 400 and above.
Mountainous terrain’s design speed is 30 km/hr for daily traffic ranging from 0 – 400
vehicles per day and 45 km/hr for traffic ranging from 400 vehicles per day and above. Low
volume traffic ranging from 0 to 50 vehicles per day with design speed for flat terrain is 45
km/hour, rolling terrain with 30 km/hour, and mountainous terrain is 30 km/hour. It can be
concluded that the design speed of vehicles is influenced by the average daily traffic and
types of terrain.
DESIGN STANDARDS
The road shall provide space for the safety and comfortable movements of vehicles.
The road shall be designed to provide ease in transportation. It should not damage
the produce during transport.
Road pavement material shall be generally stiffer than the material upon which it is
placed, thus it assists the in situ material in resisting loads without excessive
deformation or cracking.
The road should be constructed on high elevation and avoid going through marshy
and boggy areas. It shall not be located in swampy, logged-over and flooded areas.
These areas that stay wet most of the time have a lower weight bearing capacity
and have a greater probability of becoming a problem area in the future.
Steep slope shall be avoided. Road shall not pass through fault lines. Earthworks
shall be minimal i.e. for sites requiring big volumes of excavation and
embankments.
Road shall minimize environmental problems such as erosion, and slides and forest
denudation.
Road shall provide adequate and efficient internal circulation within the
development area.
Road shall be designed and arranged with appropriate regard for topography,
creeks, wooded areas and other natural features which would enhance attractive
development.
GEOMETRIC DESIGN COMPUTATIONS
The relationship of the roadway to wetlands and waterways and the interaction of
different types of roadway drainage with these resources should be considered. Horizontal
alignment should be as smooth and as direct as possible while responsive to the
topography. Flatter curvature with shorter tangents is generally preferable to sharp curves
connected by long tangents. Angle points should be avoided.
COORDINATES FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
In level terrain, the designer’s ability to efficiently satisfy the design controls
can be accomplished without construction difficulty or extraordinary
expense; however, as the terrain becomes more challenging, as in rolling
or mountainous terrain and developed areas, significantly more
complicated construction techniques must be employed to achieve
compatibility between the road alignment and the surrounding ground.
Introducing vertical curves to minimize the disruption to the existing
environment may result in sight distance or clearance issues and may
require truck climbing lanes for higher-speed facilities. The designer must
balance these factors when introducing vertical curves into a roadway
alignment.
A station line is established for the project, most often a centerline (of a road or
pipeline, etc.) but they can also be a hypothetical construction line. The stationing begins at
one end and increases to the other end. The stationing can be in feet or meters, depending
on the project measurement units. In our area, stationing of a line begins at 13.904 meters.
Any number can be used as a starting reference, but 0.00 is seldom used (if ever) to
prevent any negative stationing. Station lines are commonly curved. .
Most railroads and some highways also use mileposts. Mile posts are similar to
stationing, but they use miles instead of feet as the unit of measurement. Mile markers are
usually not as hyper-accurate as construction stationing and are usually used to find a
general location (like a highway off ramp or railroad line switch) instead of an exact location
(like the exact beginning and end of a bridge deck).
DESIGN COMPUTATION FOR HORIZONTAL CURVE AND VERTICAL CURVE
Simple Curves
A simple curve has a constant circular radius which achieves the desired deflection
without using an entering or exiting transition. This is the most frequently used curve
because of their simplicity for design, layout, and construction as shown in Figure
Compound Curves
Compound curves are a series of two or more simple curves with deflections in the
same direction immediately adjacent to each other. Compound curves are used to
transition into and from a simple curve and to avoid some control or obstacle which cannot
be relocated. It is a combination of two or more simple circular curves of different radius
having their curvature in the same direction. Also, a curve that is made up of a series of
successive tangent circular arcs is called a compound curve.
Essentially, a compound curve consists of two curves that are joined at a point of
tangency and are located on the same side of a common tangent. Though their radii are in
the same direction, they are of different values.
