CEng: 3132- Geometric Design of Highways and Streets
Mini Project on: Route Location and Geometric Design
A map showing the topographic and physical features of the region in the localities of two towns A
and B is attached to prepare the preliminary design of a road connecting the two towns. The
expected traffic ( AADT) which will be using in the opening year is given as 350 . The
traffic is assumed to increase annually with a growth rate of 5.5%. There is an existing two-way
two-lane highway in the area crossing the proposed road. The proposed road is assumed
to have a minimum service life of 15 years. Determine the location and alignment of the
proposed road.
Make a detailed design of road from A to B. Prepare a set of working drawings including:
1. A detailed plan and profile (with super-elevation and widening details) for road A-B,
2. Cross-sections typical for construction and earth work computations of the new road,
3. Mass-haul diagram showing the movements of the earthwork.
Use the following table for reaction time and coefficients of lateral friction & for SSD in your
design.
Design Speed Coefficient of lateral Coefficient of friction
Reaction Time (Sec)
(Km/Hr) friction for SSD
40 2.5 0.16 0.38
60 2.5 0.15 0.33
80 2.5 0.14 0.3
100 2.5 0.12 0.29
120 2.5 0.09 0.28
Use emax= 10 %
Take any other reasonable design data from the design manuals, ERA
(2013) and AASHTO (2011).
