Time: 3 hours Maximum Marks: 70
Note: Attempt all questions. All questions carry equal marks. Assume missing data, if any. Use of scientific calculator is allowed.
1. Answer any two of the following: 2x5=10
State the role of transportation in the development of a country.
Discuss the requirements of an ideal road aggregate.
State and discuss the desirable features of transportation system.
2. Answer any two of the following: 2x5=10
Calculate the safe stopping sight distance for a design speed of 50 kmph for two-way traffic on a two-lane road. Assume coefficient of friction as 0.37 and reaction time of driver as 2.5 sec.
Calculate the safe overtaking sight distance on a double lane National Highway for a design speed of 96 kmph. Assume all other data suitably.
State the factors governing camber. Classify camber and mention their values as per the IRC recommendations.
3. Answer any two of the following: 2x5=10
State the construction technique of premix bituminous carpet over an existing WBM road.
A wheel load of 70 kN is transmitted to a pavement, the tyre pressure being 0.7 MN/m^2. The modulus of elasticity of pavement material is 200 MN/m^2 and that of the subgrade is 20 MN/m^2. Allowable settlement at the surface is 0.3 cm. Poisson's ratio is 0.5. Determine the pavement
thickness. Take Fw =0.3.
