Question Paper
What are the four basic components of a transportation system Describe briefly each of them.
By investing RS 80 crores in a road improvement project, the saving in vehicles operation cost can be made as RS 12 crores. Is the investment worthwhile, at 16 percent interest rate, when the analysis period is 15 years? (Apply Benefit/Cost ratio method)
What general controls need to be considered while selecting the vertical alignment of roads?
Bring out the differences amongst Lane, Width, Carriageway width and Right of way with sketches.
Write briefly on Transition curves.
Calculate the ruling radius for National Highways in plain terrain.
Why is it necessary to compact soil for road construction Draw a typical Moisture -Density curve for soils and explain its behaviour.
What are the general requirements of good concrete for road pavement?
For selection of road design standard, initial cost is not a good criterion, rather life cycle cost is a better yardstick. Explain.
4. Answer any two of the following questions:
Describe briefly about the Human factors governing road use behaviour.
A car, travelling at a speed of 90 kmJhour, is brought to a halt by switching off the engine (no brakes being applied). Calculate the distance travelled by the car with the following data:
