PART B x 16 80 Marks)
11. Explain the various conventional surveys for track alignment. Or A 5° curve diverges from a main curve of 4° in an opposite direction in the layout of a BG yard. Determine speed restriction on the main line if speed on the branch line is restricted to 40 km/h. Assume permissible deficiency in cant as 7.5 cm.
12. How stations are classified? Explain the features of each station. Or Discuss the conventional methods of track maintenance.
13. Explain parking and circulation areas in an airport. Or Explain in detail the socio-economic characteristics of catchment areas with respect to airport planning.
14. The length of the runway under standard conditions is 2100m. The airport is located at an elevation of 280m above mean sea level with a reference temperature of 38°. If the effective gradient is 0.21 percent, determine the length of runway at the site. Or Discuss various runway and taxiway markings.
15. List the common types of breakwaters in use, and bring out the advantages of each of them. Or
Explain the classification of harbors.
