Assignment 6

(Design of Transportation Facilities - Railway Engineering)

1. Find the steepest gradient on a 2 curve for a MG line with a ruling gradient of 1 in 200.

2. Find out the super elevation to be provided and the maximum permissible speed for 20
BG transition curve on a high speed route having a maximum sanctioned speed of the
section as 100 km/hr. For calculating the equilibrium super elevation the speed given as
75 km/hr and the booked speed for goods traffic is 50 km/hr.

3. On a MG route involving high speed, A 100 m transition curve has been provided and a
super elevation of 80 mm has been managed. The degree of curve is 10 and the maximum
sanctioned speed for the curved section is 170 km/hr. Determine maximum permissible
speed on the curve. (Hints: Assume Cant deficiency suitably)

4. What would be the equilibrium cant on a curved MG track with a 7 curve for an average
speed of 50 km/h? Also calculate the maximum permissible speed after allowing a
maximum cant deficiency of 5 cm. The formula given by the Railway Board is
= 4.35 67

5. Find out the length of transition curve for a four degree BG circular curved track having a
cant of 15 cm. the maximum permissible speed on the curve is 90 km/hr. Find out the
shift and offset at every 15 m interval of the curve. Draw the transition curve also. (Hint:

6. If a 6o curve track branches off from a main track in an opposite direction in the layout of
a BG yard, Calculate Super elevation and maximum permissible speed on branch line if
the maximum speed on the main line is restricted to 45 km/hr.

7. A rising gradient of 1 in 150 m meets a falling gradient of 1 in 250. The intersection point
has a chainage of 1000m and its RL is 100 m Calculate Length of vertical curve, RL of
start of vertical curve, RL of end of vertical curve.
