54. Camber & Super elevation
A camber of 3.50 % will be provided along the carriageway & 4.50% will
be provided along the earthen shoulder. The maximum super elevation
for this project road will be 7 % & 10 % in plain & hilly terrain section
respectively.
55. It is the design of the road in the horizontal plane.
Consists of a series of tangents (straight lines), circular
curves and transition curves.
Should provide safe travel at a uniform design speed.
56. is the slope across pavement surface and is fully
developed in the circular curve.
(or)
Super-elevation (banking) is the transverse slope
provided at horizontal curve to counteract the
centrifugal force, by raising the outer edge of the
pavement with respect to the inner edge, throughout
the length of the horizontal curve.
So super elevation helps the vehicle to over come the
centrifugal force on the curves on pavements
57. Vertical alignment is the longitudinal section (shown
on the y-axis of a road, it consists of straight grades
joined by vertical curves.
Vertical alignment specifies the elevations of points
along the roadway.
58. Vertical Alignment
The present road is in plain terrain and vertical alignment has been
designed well within ruling gradient. Generally, minimum gradient of
0.3% for drainage purpose is considered for designing the vertical
alignment of this road. Vertical curves are not required when grade change
is less than 1%, however a minimum vertical curve is provided to avoid
vertical kink.
Vertical Curves
For satisfactory appearance, the minimum length of vertical curve for
different design speed is taken from IRC-SP 20:2002. Vertical curves of the
road are designed to provide the visibility at least corresponding to the
safe stopping sight distance. Valley curves will be designed for headlight
sight distance.
59.
60. Road Junctions are designed at places where
vehicular traffic can move in different directions in a
systematic way. Road Junctions decrease the
probability of accidents. The traffic at Road junctions
is controlled and resumed in a systematic way to
proceed further in their respective directions with
the help of traffic signals. Design of Road Junctions
is a crucial subject. Understanding the nature of
traffic, the kind of area, density of population etc is
very important so as to propose a suitable road
Junction design.

66. General
Criteria for determining the pavement (flexible)
Thickness is vertical compressive strain comes to the
subgrade due to the standard axle laden of magnitude 8.17
kN (8170 kg) , if more than this causes permanent
deformation in form of rutting. The maximum rutting can
be accepted in village road as 50 mm before maintenance
and the analytical evaluation can be done according to
IRC:37.
For rigid and semi-rigid pavement tensile stress is taken as
the design criteria.
68. Sub grade
To provide support to the pavement as its foundation.
Top 30 cm of the cutting or embankment at formation
level in rural roads consider as sub-grade.
A minimum of 100% of standard proctor compaction
should be attain in sub-grade.
For clayey soil 95% and moisture content of 2% in excess
of optimum value.
Soil below sub-grade should be compacted to 97% of
standard proctor compaction.
69. Sub-base course:
Selected materials placed on sub-grade which is
compacted to 98% of IS heavy compaction.
Function of sub-base is to distribute the stresses over a
wide area of the sub-grade imposed by the traffic.
Materials:
CBR of 15%
Passing through 425 micron IS sieve
L.L<25 and P.I<6
70. Base course
to with stand high stress concentrations which develop
due to traffic under the wearing surface.
Different types of base course used are:
WBM
Crusher-run macadam
Dry lean concrete
Soft aggregate base course
Lime-fly ash concrete
71. Surface course:
Thickness of surface course depend upon the traffic
volume and type of material used for it.
For gravel roads extra thickness should be provided
because of lost in thickness due to the traffic action.
Bituminous wearing courses must be made up of good
quality aggregate with aggregate impact value not
exceeding 30 % in order to reduce degradation of
aggregates by crushing.
73. Composition of Rural Traffic
Traffic cannot calculated of AADT
Traffic Growth Rate
As per IRC-72-2015, It is recommended that an average
annual growth rate of 6% over the design life may be
adopted.
Design Life
A design life of 10 years is recommended for purposes of
pavement design.
74. Determination of ESAL
The Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) is a multiplier for
converting the number of commercial vehicles of different
axel loads to the number of standard axel load repetitions.
As per IRC- 72-2015
Vehicle Type Laden Unladed/Partially Laden
HCC 2.86 0.31
MCV 0.34 0.02
N=T0 x 365 x [(1+0.01r)n -1/0.01r] x L
75. Where T0 = ESAL per day = number of commercial
vehicles per day in the year of opening x VDF
And L = lane distribution factor; L = 1 for single
lane /intermediate lane
76. The traffic parameter has been categorized into 7
categories as under:
T1 : 10,000 to 30,000 ESAL applications
T2 : 30,000 to 60,000 ESAL applications
T3 : 60,000 to 1,00,000 ESAL applications
T4 : 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 ESAL applications
T5 : 2,00,000 to 3,00,000 ESAL applications
T6 : 3,00,000 to 6,00,000 ESAL applications
T7 : 6,00,000 to 10,00,000 ESAL applications
77. Soil Surveys
For each of the soil groups thus identified, at
least one CBR test should be conducted with
the soil compacted to the standard Proctor
density and at a moisture content
corresponding to the wettest state
considered appropriate to the site conditions.
78. There are five sub grade strength classes S1,
S2, S3, S4 & S5 covering a range of CBR values
from 2 to 15, for each of which, the pavement
thickness and composition requirements are
given under different traffic categories in
terms of ESAL applications.
81. Traffic-
As per the IRC:37 design traffic should be 0.1 msa to 2 msa
(million standard axles).
Weight of commercial vehicle (laden) is considered as 3
tones or more.
For design traffic we consider the existing traffic and rate
of growth is 6 % consider.
Traffic study should be done as per the IRC:37.

85. Design Standards for culverts has been prepared based on standard
codes and guidelines of IRC: SP: 20: 2002 and similar type of
ongoing projects. General features of the designed cross drainage
structures are given below: -
Width of Culvert: 7.5 m including thickness of parapet.
Width of Bridge: 6.0 m with parapet.
Invert Level: Fixed 15 cm below existing GL/Drain bed
level as shown in drawing.
Finished Level: Top level of culverts generally will match
with the finished road level and wherever is not
possible the profile will be matched by
providing 1 (V): 25 (H).
86. Are constructed to carry traffic over natural waterways that
flow below the right of way of the Roads .
They also provide the flow of water below the Roads , along
the natural channel without disturbing its course.
Concern is always to provide adequate size structure
(opening is sufficiently large to discharge expected flow of
water).
Major Structures: Bridges
Minor Structures: short-span bridges and culverts
87. Important to select culvert location (Station no.), alignment, and
grade
Location:
1. Bottom of depression where no natural water course exist.
2. Where natural stream intersect the roadway.
Alignment:
1. Conform with natural stream
2. Cross roadway at right angles (economy)
3. Skew culverts are needed sometimes
Grade:
1. Conform to existing grade of stream
2. Reduced grades through culverts…..velocity
reduction…..sediments deposition….reduce capacity
3. Increasing culvert grade…..velocity increase…..erosion at outlet
and beyond.
88. Categories:
1- Longitudinal drains:
pipes laid in trenches within the pavement structure and parallel to
the center line of the HWY.
Used to lower the water table below the pavement structure .
Used to remove seeping water into the .
When water table is very high, two rows of longitudinal drains can
be used.
2- Transverse drains:
Place transversely below the pavement, perpendicular to the center
line.
3- Horizontal drains:
Used to relieve pore pressure at slopes of cuts and embankments on
the Roads.
Consist of small-diameter perforated pipes inserted into the slopes
of the cut or fill
89. Control of groundwater encountered in Roads locations.
Purpose: control seepage, lowering ground water table, base
and shallow sub grade drains.
Circular pipes laid at suitable depth in a trench, which is
then backfilled with porous granular material.
Pipes materials: Porous concrete, perforated metal, or
vitrified clay
Slope: steep enough to prevent deposition or setting of
materials entering the pipe through joints or perforations.
Intercepting drains, lowering water table, and base drainage.
90. 1. Obtain all site data & plot a roadway cross section
at the culvert site, including a profile of the
stream channel.
2. Establish the culvert elevations, inlets and outlets,
and determine culvert length and slope.
3. Select a type and size of culvert.
4. Examine the need for energy dissipaters.
91. Major Phases
1. Estimate quantity of water that is expected to reach the
system.
2. The hydraulic design of each element in the system.
3. The comparison of alternative system to select most
economical system.
92. Purpose:
To provide a drainage facility or system that will
adequately and economically drain the
estimated flow throughout the design life
without unreasonable risks to the roadway
structure or near by property.
93. Estimate of Run Off
Existing stream…..use available records.
Return Period (RP): Estimated frequency for rare
events (floods) (i.e. peak design flow).
R P = 50yrs for interstate, = 10 – 25 yrs for streets
and roads, and 5 – 10 yrs for light traffic facilities.
94. Flood frequency
Statistical based
Indicate mean annual flood as a function of the size of the
drainage area for each hydrological region.
Engineers design drainage facilities to accommodate the
peak flow.
95. Rain fall intensity is function of
1. Duration of rainfall.
2. Occurrence (return period).
Note: Small durations provide higher rainfall intensity.
Duration of rainfall is chosen based on the time of
concentration
96. Time of concentration: It is the duration of rainfall required
to produce the max. rate of run off.
Time of concentration = Time of flow (over land + in
drainage system)
Time of over land flow: time for a water particle to travel
from most remote point in drainage area to point where it
enters the drainage system.
Time of over land flow = F (Slope, type of surface, length,…)
Estimates of flow in drainage system can be made from
observed or computed velocities of flow.
97. Q = CM 3/4
M = Catchment area in Sq. Km
C = Constant varying from 14-19 in MP (Consider C
=17)
Small bridge-(site length of which exceeds 15 m)
was decided & designed after joint visit by STA
and S.E. as per SP-20 & SP-13 and relevant IRC
Codes for Bridges.
98. V = [R2/3
* S1/2
]/ n
V = Mean Velocity (m/s).
R = Hydraulic radius (m) = [Area / wetted perimeter].
S = Slope of channel.
n = Manning’s roughness coefficient.
Q = A V
