What is the maximum flow, assuming that the relationship between speed and density is linear? Draw neat sketches showing the relationships between the density, flow, and speed ©) An existing horizontal curve on a highway has a radius of 150 m, which restricts the posted speed limit on this section of the road to only 59% of the design speed of the highway. If the curve is to be improved so that its posted speed will be the design speed of the highway, determine the minimum radius of the new curve: Assume that the rate of superelevation is 0.08 for both the existing curve and the new curve to be designed, and the coefficient of lateral friction is 0.14 Question 2: (25% of the mark) Question @) A-4% grade and a +1% grade are intersecting (PI) at station 7+30 with an elevation of 730 m. If the length of the vertical curve is 250 m, determine the station and elevation every 50 m along the vertical curve. If the curve passes under a bridge at station 7+50 and the elevation of the lowest point of the bridge girder is 737.0, what the available clearance under the bridge? b) The intersection angle of a 4° curve is 55°25’, and the PC is located at station 80+00.
