Question Paper
Explain the necessity and objectives of highway planning.
Discuss the different stages of engineering surveys that are carried out for finalising the location of highway alignment.
Briefly describe the stages of transportation planning process.
Draw a typical road cross-section showing the geometric features.
3. Design the length of transition curve on a 500 m radius curve with a design speed of 100 kmph for National Highway in a heavy rainfall area. Assume double lane highway.
The absolute minimum sight distance required on a highway is 90 m. Find the required clearance of obstruction from the centre line of a horizontal curve of radius 400 m and length 200 m. Assume two-lane highway.
Explain summit and valley curves and the various cases when these are fOrIned while two different gradients meet.
What is the significance of subgrade soil in highways? Write the desirable properties of subgrade soil.
Draw typical plots of bituminous mix design by Marshall method. How is the optimum bitumen content for the mix design determined?
Explain the CBR method of pavement design. How is thickness of different layers determined
The width of expansion joint gap is 2 cm in a cement concrete pavement. If the concrete laying temperature is 20°C and the maximum slab temperature in summer IS 55°C, calculate the spacing between expansion joints. Assume coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete as 10 x per °C.
Write the construction procedure of W.B.M. roads.
Explain the methods of spot speed study. What are the applications of spot speed studies
Explain traffic capacity, basic capacity, possible capacity and practical capacity.
Write the fundamental relationship between traffic volume, density and speed. Determine the capacity flow on a road if the average spacing between vehicles under stopped condition is 6·9 m. The free mean speed on this road is found to be 80 kmph.
Describe different types of traffic signal systems.
Write a short note on application of GIS in traffic engineering.
10.(a) Discuss the various cost components of highway projects.
Write down the special features of expressways.
