Bloom’s taxonomy::
R: Remembering, U: Understanding, A: Applying, N: Analysing, E: Evaluating, C: Creating
1. Reduced levels of ground along the centre line of a proposed road from the chainage 0 to 200 E
m are given below. The formation level at the 40 m chainage is 102.75. The formation of road [4,5]
from the chainage 0 to 80 m has rising gradient of 1 in 40. The formation level has falling slope
of 1 in 100 from the chainage 40 m to 200 m. The formation width of the road at the top is 12.0
m and the side slope of banking are 2 :1.

Draw typical cross-section and prepare an estimate of the earthwork for the road at the rate of
3.52 per m2.
2. Work out the earthwork for road from the following data: E
(a) Formation width : 10 m [4,5]
(b) Embankment slope : 2:1
(c) Cutting slope = 1:1
(d) The formation has falling gradient of 1 in 200 from the chainage 0 to 150 m and falling
gradient of 1 in 120 m from the chainage 150 to 300 m.
(e) R. L. of formation at chainage at 0.00 level = 102.5 m
(f) R.L of the ground are as follows:
Chainage 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300

3. Prepare an estimate for renewing an old patchy and rough road with the following data: E
(i) The road is proposed to be renewed by providing one layer of 40 mm gauge stone ballast [4,5]
(12 cm loose compacted to 8 cm thickness) and two coats of surface painting.
(ii) The metaled width of the road is 4.0 m
(iii) Length of the road = 1 km
(iv) 1st coat- 12 mm gauge stone ballast at 0.015 m3/m2 surface area with bitumen at 2 kg/m2
surface coat.
(v) 2nd coat – 8 mm gauge stone ballast at 0.009 m3/m2 surface area with asphalt at 1.2 kg/m2
surface coat.

Assume other data and suitable rates.
