This document appears to be an assignment for a highway engineering course containing 6 multiple choice and calculation problems related to horizontal highway curves. Problem 1 asks about the station of point of intersection (PI) and sight distance given design speed, superelevation rate, and point of curvature (PC) of a freeway ramp curve. Problem 2 asks about horizontal sightline offset of a billboard near a curved highway. Problem 3 provides curve design parameters and asks about design speed, station of PC, and station of point of tangent (PT). Problems 4-6 are additional curve design and sight distance calculation problems.

Assignment 1
HIGHWAY ENGNEERING

1 A horizontal curve on a single-lane freeway ramp is 122 m long, and


the design speed of the ramp is 70 km/h . If the superelevation is 10%
and the station of the PC is 17 + 35, what is the station of the PI and
how much distance must be cleared from the center of the lane to
provide adequate stopping sight distance?
2 A horizontal curve with a radius of 245 m connects the tangents of a
two-lane highway that has a posted speed limit of 60 km/h. If the
highway curve is not superelevated, , determine the horizontal
sightline offset that a large billboard can be placed from the centerline
of the inside lane of the curve, without reducing the required SSD.
Perception-reaction time is 2.5 sec, and f= 0.35.
3 A horizontal curve is to be designed for a two-lane road in mountainous
terrain. The following data are known: Deflection angle: 40 degrees,
tangent length= 133.12 m, station of PI: 2700+10.65, fs = 0.12, e =
0.08.
Determine:
(a) Design speed
(b) Station of the PC
(c) Station of the PT
4 Building is located 5.8 m from the centerline of the inside lane of a
curved section of highway with a 122 m radius. The road is level; e =
0.10. Determine the appropriate speed limit (to the nearest 10 km/h)
considering the following conditions: stopping sight distance and curve
radius.
5 The stopping sight distance for a speed of 100 km/h and a down grade
of 4.5% is most nearly:
(A) 194.5 m
(B) 191.4 m
(C) 199 m
(D) 182.3
6 Lane 7.3 m single carriageway road has a horizontal curve of radius of
600 m. If the minimum sight stopping distance required is 160 m,
calculate in meters the required distance to be kept clear of
obstructions if the length of the curve is:
(a) 200 m;
(b) 100 m.
