Radius Calculation (Example)

Design radius example: assume a maximum e of 8%


and design speed of 60 mph, what is the minimum
radius?
fmax = 0.12 (from Green Book)
V2
Rmin =
15(0.01emax + f max )

Rmin = _____602_________ Rmin = 1200 feet


15(0.08 + 0.12)

Radius Calculation (Example)

For emax = 4%? (urban situation)

Rmin = _____602______
15(0.04 + 0.12)
Rmin = 1,500 feet
For emax = 2%? (rotated crown)

Rmin = 602 ____


15(0.02 + 0.12)
Rmin = 1,714 feet

Example on Superelevation Transition

Calculate the superelevation transition for a two


Lane, two way roads with a circular curve to the
right and a radius of 2000 ft, a design speed of 60
mph, a horizontal curve length of 820 ft, and a PC
station of 14+10. (assume emax = 10% and that one-
third of the runoff transition is in the curve).

R = 2000 ft
V = 60 mph = 88 ft/sec
Lc = 820 ft
Chainage of PC = 14 +10

4. Transitions into the horizontal curve

begin left lane transition: 1,410 – 2/3 (280) – 80 = 1143.33


= 11+ 43.33
Left lane crosses 0 percent: 1410 – 2/3 (280) = 1223.33 = 12+ 23.33

Begin right lane transition ( when left lane reaches 2 percent):


1410 – 2/3 (280) + 80 = 1303.33 = 13 + 03.33
Achieve full superelevation: 1,410 + 1/3 (280) = 1503.33 = 15 + 03.33

5. Transitions out of the horizontal curve

PT = 1410 + 820 = 2230 = 22+30

begin transitioning from full superelevation: 2230 – 1/3 (280) =


2136.67 = 21+ 36.67
End right lane transition ( when left lane reaches 2 percent):
2230 + 2/3 (280) - 80 = 2336.67 = 23 + 36.67
Left lane crosses 0 percent: 2230+ 2/3 (280) = 2416.67= 24+ 16.67

Return to Normal Crown: 2230 + 2/3 (280) + 80 = 2496.67


= 24 + 96.67
